This Is Me

I’m beautiful, 
but I see the little imperfections no one else seems to notice.
I’m smart,
and yet I know sometimes I could do better.
I’m happy,
but I do complain a lot sometimes…
This is me.
I love God
and yet I sin.
I have a lot of friends
yet at times I feel lonely.
I forgive others 
but find it hard to forgive myself even when I should.
This is me.
I like nice things,
but money isn’t everything to me.
I like to be alone,
but I love being around my friends more.
I am open minded about all religions,
but I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
This is me.
Love me, like me, hate me.
This is me.
