I will Never be Her
I’ll never be her,
I’ll never be the girl who wakes up and looks effortlessly beautiful,
I’ll never be the girl who has perfect lashes,
And a perfect blowout 24/7,
I’ll never get straight A’s without trying,
Because that’s just not who I am,
I’m not the girl who has guys fighting for her,
Or who gets compliments from every passing stranger,
I’m not,
And honestly I don’t think I ever will be,
But that’s okay,
I may not have guys complimenting my looks,
Or my outfits,
But I do have others things,
I get acknowledged for being kind, funny, athletic,
I get good marks because I put in an effort,
I don’t take the easy way out,
Because I have integrity,
I don’t take short cuts,
Or Loop holes,
I value hard work,
And I learned at a young age that for me at least, doing things the easy way,
Doesn’t make me happy,
But for her,
I don’t know,
She might enjoy cheating off of others because then she can stay out partying,
She might value being a puck bunny, because her looks are the most impressive thing about her,
She may even get plastic surgery because working out was too much work,
I don’t know,
And I will never know,
Because I will never be her,
I am proud of who I am and I will never change myself to become her,
I enjoy going to bed at 1am because I’m laughing on call with a friend, not because I’m out partying,
I enjoy spending days studying,
But also getting outside and playing a sport,
I value my relationships with others, and make sure I keep in touch with my friends, family, and colleagues,
I may have a basic life style,
You may even call it nerdy,
But that’s not the way I see it,
In my world,
It’s everything I need,
And everything I want,
To her it may not be much,
She may think I’m missing out on my teenage years,
But to me,
It’s perfect,
It’s the lifestyle I knew I’d be living right now,
The kind of life where I am proud of myself,
I get to do things that I enjoy
I am social,
Athletic,
And live life to the fullest
So yes,
I am not her,
I’m me,
And that’s exactly how it should be
