Some people think little girls should be seen and not heard ....



.:[I AM]:.
friendly, contrary to popular belief. easily amused. real. honest. not taking any shit. an anachronism. tenacious. independent to a fault. driven. strange. free-spirited. a super dork. proud. going against the grain. thinking. listening. dreaming. reaching high.

i am not like you.

i am an artist.
i am a writer.
i am going to become a doctor.
i am the girl that most boys want, but will never have.
i am the girl that other girls seem to love to hate.
i am confident, but not to the point of arrogance; it's called being assertive.
i'm the one the masses love to judge.
i'm loud and up-front, and quiet in the corner.
i'm selfish, and selfless.
i'm grounded, but aloof.
i'm a blessing, and a hazard; a red alert.
i follow my own standards.
i change for no one.
i walk along my own private road; sometimes that's a gift, and sometimes it's a curse. i wouldn't have it any other way.

whether you agree, or beg to differ -
i am myself.
and sometimes a little extra.
there is nothing else i would rather be.
