I'm not all that tan but I'm covered in freckles
My eyes are are both green and have blue speckles
My lips are pink and my teeth are crooked
If I could fix them believe me I would

My hair is a mop of gold and brown
My eyes brows in contrast are black and down
I need to wear glasses or else I'm blind
But you know what I'm okay without my sight

My glasses are teal with the sides all checkered
I put them on and I can see much better
My feet are strangely small
Or so I've been told
Whenever I take my shoes off people ask
"Sorry you're how old?"

I have to explain I am older than 8
Honestly people why must you hate
My feet are my feet same with my hands
Though the opposite can be said because they are gigantic

I guess I'm skinny or that's what they say
I don't think so but I'm just human anyway
I do have muscle and of that I'm proud
I've grown to like myself and I'm learning to say it out loud

I'm not emotionally perfect
Then again who is
I couldn't think of one person
I guess we're all on the frizz

So there you have it
I'm pretty enough under a layer of nerd
I'm not perfect and I don't eat like a bird
But that's who I am so you'll have to deal with it
And if you don't like me that's fine
I am who I am, and IM not planning to quit
