You’re not me.
Oh, you’re bound to see;
Ugly is the new pretty.
Retarded is the new outsmarted.
Everyone is their own person.


Nobody can be me.
Only I can see,
That my flaws don’t make me any less perfect than those without them.


Maybe one day you’ll see,
Everyone’s themselves, and you’re not me.

Sorry if I sound a little rude, but I'm a huge grammar nerd, and this literally made me cringe. However, like my poem says, I still think you're perfect just the way you are! Thanks for the comment, by the way!
