I'm not perfect,
My hair falls out of place,
I make huge mistakes,
my lips aren't full,
and they don't have a perfect arch.
My eyes are small,
my eyebrows too big,
and sometimes my clothes are too tight.
I bite my nails,
and I complain,
I get mad when things
don't happen my way.
I'm argumentative,
I'm indecisive,
But I never give up.
I'm not perfect,
I don't say I am,
But I am worth it.

My sister had this one quote on her binder that I incorporated into the poem and general into a poem itself. I just hope people get the enjoyment of reading my work.
