Dear me,
I know times have been rough, but these are the days that will make you tough. I have been thinking, and I realized one little thing. That people never tell you all the ways you are amazing. So give me a few minutes, while I list off some tid-bits. I hope these make you smile, and happy for a while. Because it's the truth, no matter what people say. You are spectacular, in so many ways.
I love the way your eyes scrunch up when you laugh, and how your favorite part of the day is the time when you are in the bath. The way you are always reading a book, or the way you stare into people eyes when they are telling a story, and you are hooked. I love the way you are obsessed with scary movies, even though you always cover your eyes. And the way you always know when people are telling you lies. How during the school day, you avoid all the mirrors. How, when you laugh, your eyes always tear. The way you twirl you hair never fails to make me smile, and how you like to dance down empty store isles. You have your moments when you are so kind, along with the days when you give people a piece of your mind. Your little love poems always make me feel warm inside. Along with the way you are only able to sleep on your sides. I love the way you always make sarcastic jokes, and your obsession with owning a future boat. I like how you whistle and don't even know it. How when you love someone, you never fail to show it.
People only focus on your flaws, but you and I both know that those are small, compared to your dorky-ness, your wit, and your heart. The fact that they can't see them only shows that they aren't very smart. Now, this wasn't written for you to be conceded. It is only to cheer you up, in those times when it is needed. I just hope that you understand that no one is perfect. And that with all your quirks, getting to know you is worth it. So the next time someone trys to put you down, pull out this poem and read it out loud. Maybe then they will understand how you feel, and write one themselves when they need a way to deal.
