You like me for me,
for what I can be;
For who I am.
You see through the flimsy
mask I put up for
protection;
For who I really am.
You roll your intuitive eyes
at my naive, inane words;
Because you know who I am.
You are my one and only
vulnerability, breaking
through my outershell with
every glance;
I love you for who you are;
Is it possible for you to
love me for who I am?

The author's comments:
this is about a guy who's really intrigued by this girl who really understands him, like no one else does.
She's got somewhat of an outcast attitude toward him, and he wants to see if she could fall for him

I like your use of vocabulary, and I love the meaning, especially the part with the flimsy mask... :) Awesome job! Keep Writing!
