i'm not perfect, at least I'm real

think about that b*tch that think she means everything

I'm not beautiful

not at all

I'm not good at sports

I'm just tall

I don't have guys chasing me around

My hair is frizzy

I'm not that skinny

but

I have friends

who really love me

I love what I do

I work to improve myself

don't you?

you are thin and sleek

great in multiple sports

every week another man

who do you really love

give up the attitude and lose all your 'friends'

I might not be perfect but you aren't real

you put on a show

each and everyday

you think everyone loves you

behind your back they laugh

why break me down

when you are fake

why not just be yourself

or is popularity really that great

I will tell you what you are definitely not alone and definitely appreciated. I called her Zippy and she and her mother called me O' mario a girl just like this poem describes She was as real as they come. Thank you for reminding me of her, a lot thank you.

i like this alot, I think most everyone can relate to it,
we've either known someone like this, or are someone like this.
Either way, great piece!

I really like this! it really does point out the severe flaws in bullying and the whole popularity cycle. an excellent write up!

My only question, and it is minor, the line "who do you really love" does't that need a question mark?

[Adri Moolman]

thank you

Clever and catty I like it. The format and rhyme scheme dipped and dived a bit, but overall the message is clear. Filled with youthful feelings and mature lessons. Good write.

I always admired your way of presenting your thoughts and once again u did great...
Change is sometimes good but we should always believe in who we are.How do we look ? Slim or chubby..it actually does'nt matter but what matters is "What we do that ultimately defines us"...
