I am a girl....

I am a girl.

I am a girl who isn't afraid to speak her mind.

And isn't afraid of how people will respond.

I am a girl with a support system.

That will never leave me hanging.

I am a girl with a beautiful smile.

Even through the tears and grief.

I am a girl with curves.

That I rock every day and love very much.

I am a girl who will go a day without makeup.

Even though some people will ask me if I am sick,

I am a girl who doesn't always eat very healthy.

Because I am picky.

I am a girl who isn't willing to change for people.

I am who I am and if you don't like that then that is your problem.

I am a girl who is self conscious.

Because of my curves.

I am a girl who was home schooled and went back to public school.

And was bullied because of it.

I am a girl who is honest.

Because I hate being lied to.

I am a girl who is always a teachers pet.

Because I am mature.

I am a girl who will cuss.

I am a girl with blue eyes.

 That sparkle in the sunlight.

I am a girl who rarely cries.

Only when I have been strong for too long.

I am a girl who is depressed.

Because I don't process things well.

I am a girl that has anxiety.

Because decisions are hard.

I am a girl with a wonderful family.

I am a girl who has been through a divorce.

Harder than hell but I made it.

I am a girl with an obsession with minions and elephants.

Because they are awesome.

I am a girl who has trust issues.

I trust too much.

I am a girl that is a fifth year senior. 

Because I was home-schooled.

I am a girl who didn't have her first kiss until the day before her eighteenth birthday. 

I am a girl who won't try on clothes at the store.

Because I am afraid of what people will say,

I am a girl who will compliment other people.

Because I know that when people compliment me it makes my day.

I am a girl who posts a lot of selfies.

Because sometimes, I don't feel pretty, and when I do I want everyone to see.

I am a girl who blogs.

I am a girl who loves those who aren't.

Not because I know how it feels but because I know how great it feels to be loved.

I am a girl who dances like no ones watching.

Because it makes me happy.

I am a girl that is shy.

Because new people scare me.

I am a girl that is strong.

It took a lot to get here but I am here now.

I AM A GIRL.

Don't judge me by: what I wear.

Or by what I listen to.

What size clothes I wear or don't wear.

By how I do my hair,

Or how I act in public.

The music I like,

What I have or haven't done in my life.

Or by what people have told you.

On if I have a boyfriend.

Or if I have a child.

Or whether I choose to have sex before marriage or to wait,

By the food I eat and the amount that I consume.

Or if I have a job or not.

The kind of car I drive.

I am a girl.

A girl just trying to discover who she is.

A girl who doesn't want other people to define her.

A girl who doesn't want to have to worry about what people say about her.

A girl who doesn't want to be judged.

I AM A GIRL.
