Am I?
May 5, 2021
I walk through the halls every morning with a smile on my face,
Never having to know what it's like to be self-conscious
Cause I’ve always been this way
Free of any overthinking
“Is she looking at me? Do I look weird? Are they laughing at me”
Nope. Never. Always laughing with them, or smiling back.
I don’t have to worry about that,
Because I know I like me
And that's all that mattered
They all say I’m just stuck up,
Vain. Flaunting. Bragging.
But I don't think I am any of those things,
Am I?

We wrote this piece in class, lying about what we were. Like we were seeing it from another point of view or someone we wanted to be, and I wrote mine about confidence. I have never really had any because there were always girls who were gonna be prettier and skinnier and better. After writing this I realized that I am all of those things and more, and the more I broke out of my shell the more people were judging me. So I wrote it about becoming confident and being judged for finding who you really are.
