I wish I was a perfect girl.
A girl who cried when she was sad
Her bottled up feelings
Bursting free
As tears dripped down her flawless face.
A girl who smiled when she was happy
Her smile lighting up the room
Making everyone else smile with her.
A girl who's laugh
Sounded like chiming bells
Confirming your jokes were funny.
A girl who loved her friends
Regardless of any wrong they've done.
Loving them relentlessly
Not faking it
Behind her plastered on smile.A girl who ate
Savoring each morsel
Moving it around delicately in her mouth
Dragging out the taste
For as long as possible.
A girl who was good at anything and everything
Always chosen first for a team
Bounding over lightly
On her fast little feet
Smiling all the way
As she joined the growing team's ranks.
A girl who, when away
People rushed to call
Yearning for the chance to talk to her
Even if for just a second.
A girl who all the boys loved
Their eyes following her down the hall
Growing silent as she passed
Flashing a smile her way
Regardless of whether she'd smile back.
A girl who loved life
Waking up each morning
Pulling back the curtains
And smiled at the rising sun.
Despite my wishes
I'm far from perfect.
