Not perfect
I’m not perfect
I have my flaws
That make me different
No one sees them
Because I hide them
Make them unseen
Invisible
I’m not fake
Plastic
Barbie like
Those that everyone looks up too
They’ll break under pressure
I won’t
I think
I’ll try not to
It’s not easy to be me
I can’t be like them
I need to be different hidden in between all of them…
