Who I am
I am lazy.
 Just the thought of work pains me. 
 Sleeping in is my greatest hobby, along with procrastination and “chillaxin.”
 
 I am stubborn.
 I hate being wrong. I will try and TRY to find a way to make things work my way, even if I know they never will.
 
 I am emotional.
 I cry at everything, leave my heart on my sleeve, and get hurt continually.
 
 But I am learning.
 Learning that trusting EVERY SINGLE PERSON is probably not a good idea.
 Learning that life is unfair. 
 Learning that there are some people in this world that just don’t like me. 
 
 And I am starting to understand.
 That to truly be happy, you have to like yourself.
 
 So, this is me.
 
 A lazy, stubborn, emotional girl.
 
 I have secrets, I have fears, I have…issues. 
 I am selfish, insecure, shy.
 
 But this is ME!
 
 Let me contradict myself. Let me flirt with a boy I like. 
 Let me write a poem about sex.
 
 Let me be ME!
 
 I’m sorry if this isn’t want you want.
 You don’t have to accept it, but please respect it.
 
 Respect my decision to wear a skirt on a cold day, listen to jazz music, and dance a little slutty at school dances.
 
 Respect my choice to not let you in on every minute detail of my life.
 
 Respect my unfailing loyalty to a boy that will never love me back.
 
 Respect ME.
 
 Because this who I am.
 
 Take it or leave it.
