Frilly dresses
Stuffed animals
Bright pinks and purples
A little girl at heart

Giggly and shy
Innocent and naïve
Honest and warm
True through and through

Loyal to friends
There by your side
A gentle soul
Caring for all who I can

Smarts I constantly deny
Creativity I always doubt
Looks I tend not to see
A constant war rages within

I always question what I’m told
I always look for deep understanding
I always wonder if there is something more
Curiosity is second nature to me

Strong willed yet too reserved
Opinionated yet too quiet
Independent yet too afraid
Opposites tug me in every way

The conflicting sides stretch me
To be the person who I am
They fill me out, color me in
Present to you, who I am
