I'm not perfect. Love me for me.
I'm not a perfect person.
im nowhere close.
in fact im the complete oppsite.
my makeup isnt always even,
my hair isn't always perfectly straight.
im nowhere close to beautiful
and im scared of wat u think of me.
i wish for approval
from all of my peers
yet i do things that drive most away
but i have some pretty awesome friends
and i have an amazing boyfriend
so i guess im doin' ok.
i strive for the perfection
society wants me to have
and i strive for the approval
of my classmates
but im not perfect
im nowhere close.
and i just want you
to love me for me.
love me for who i am
not wat i am
love me for the human i am
love me for me
