Myself

I go to bed when my mind is at rest
even if it's at 3 am.

I hate sleeping and waking up 4 and 1/2 hours later
even if it's at half 7 am.

The only things that keep me awake and distracted are
Football (soccer), school, books, and YouTube.

The are many ways to describe myself but you must ask others.
My friends always say I get it wrong; they overestimate me.

I think I am ugly, stupid, lazy, and much more.
My friends try to reassure me that I am in fact much more.
My friends think I am beautiful, smart, athletic and thoughtful.

I am living a lie.
But how would I know?
Alexthymia is a blessing and a curse.

All I know is the impact those words my friends have said
help me through life each and every day.

Every word has made me think positively,
without my friends I wouldn't still be here.

One thing is for sure; my imagination is my friend.

A pencil and paper or a keyboard and a screen
either is fine and makes no difference to me.

I may not be unique, but others think I am
all thanks to being who I am.

I would not change my life at all
for it has made me:
me.
