Uniquely Me

Uniquely me, I belong in a world of peace

A world who accepts you for you

A world where identity isn’t being ashamed of A world where you can speak your native language

A world where everyone unites

But we can’t have those things

Instead, we live in a world full of chaos

A world where your identity is being ashamed of A world where no one is at peace

A world where you can’t be yourself

I’m no one special, I’m just like everyone else, I do what I love to do, I never give up on myself Or the things I love,

I’m someone nice and pretty funny from time to time, I help people in different ways, I’m athletic and smart,

I don’t lie, but I’m truthful, I’m always there for those who need me, When I’m not having a good day I play my favorite music, I’m from this generation, but I prefer the older generation,

I’m old school, but I’m young, People say I live under a rock, The cold never bothered me, I am who I am, I don’t change for others I change for myself, I care for my friends and family, Most people call me stubborn and competitive, but that's just me, When you get to know me you will see I’m a good guy, If you see me don’t be afraid to say hi.

Wake up, get ready

Make yourself look presentable

Put on makeup and don’t get stressed

All the others look acceptable

Why?

Why am I not popular?

Why am I not as perfect as the others?

Why?

Hide your insecurities

Suck in all the air as you ask

Do others have insecurities?

You know Haley?

She has insecurities, You know so called fearless Jordan?

Middle school, Two of the most cruel years, Everyone will judge you, Everyone will look at you weird, But they do this because they’re…

They’re jealous of you They want to be like you One day you will understand, One day you will know…

You will know you are beautiful, You will know you are enough, You will know you are you

He is insecure, Everyone is insecure, They just don’t want to show it because…

Well…they want to be something…

They want to be something that doesn’t exists

They all want to be perfect…

All Jennie wants is to be able to look at herself

From the mirror without saying something mean to herself..

All she wants is to be perfect

And you will never be able to change that You love you…
