BeingPerfect

she's shorter, but with double the wit
shes intelligent, a clown,
but wont take no stick
she rises above bullies
and shows that shes better
that an independant spirit
is something to treasure.

But that girl's smile is not creased by frown lines
her happiness doesn't falter when she is sidelined
Her waistline is smaller
her scales number less
and pictures of friends
crowd her desk.

so much to be proud of
her smile, her talent
but shes humble and a good friend
who has just taken life by the scruff
thrown caution to the wind
decided shes had enough
of ordinary things
its time to live in the moment.

when you look in the mirror
dont dislike who you are.
peer closer,
that girl hides close by
and its really not so far.
