Please Dont Judge Me

Don’t judge me;
I know I appeared 
      to be so
    standoffish.
You pursued me
for a long time.
 You greeted me
 every day when
I came to your
  coffee shop.
 Sometimes you 
wanted to give me
   the coffee for 
        free.
I declined every 
        time.
You tried to give
     me roses,
But I didn’t accept
        them.
One day you just
stopped abruptly.
  However, you
 didn’t know that
I was secretly in-
  love with you.
And my wall was
  about to come 
  crashing down.
Listen, I was just
guarding my heart.
As I child I used to
  be overweight.
I got bullied a lot.
I had no friends .
  As I got older I
got in shape, I ate
   healthier and I
   joined a gym.
I am now a fitness 
  instructor, and I
  own a couple of
         gyms.
On the outside I’m 
     a knockout,
 Open the book and
      turn the page.
 You will see I’m still 
the little overweight 
    girl that’s madly
    in love with you.
I guess the old saying 
is true “ Don’t Judge A
  Book By It’s Cover”
