Description
i am the girl
with the long, straight brown hair that's been dyed from
brown to blonde to brown again in an attempt
to fit in but i quickly switched back when i realised that
you liked the old me better
the girl you grew up with and liked and then
eventually fell in love with but you swear that
you didn't fall for me
but that i tripped you and
you caught onto my ankle on the way down,
pulling me with you.

i am the girl
with muddy grass-green eyes that tell the story of
my first soccer game where there was
thunder and rain
and we played til our hearts stopped beating
and when we won, i ran off of
the field to find you, you with the dark hair that was
plastered to your forehead from the rain
and i tackled you and got your favourite shirt muddy
but you didn't mind because you said
you thought it looked better with my touch anyways.

i am the girl
whose voice is locked up behind her metallic teeth
because she's too afraid to just stand up and belt out a tune
because she's too afraid to take a chance
because she's scared that someone might actually like her
for who she is and not who she's trying to be
because plastic doesn't always equal perfection
but yet she's too scared to
test that theory for herself.

i'm the girl
with the stubborn chin
that juts out from under a set of full lips
that beg for you to caress and to
gently press your lips against
because i've waited so long for this
to happen
and the least you could do
boy
is give me
just one
kiss.
