I Am Human

Perfectly Imperfect

I am human!

Perfectly imperfect.

I stand up for what I believe in, and there’s going to be people that get offended for me speaking out.

I’m not the sweet, innocent girl people want me to be any more.

The corruption and deceit of this world turned me into the person I am today.

I choose to no longer to be defeated by the darkness that once encompassed my life.

I have conquered demons that people refuse to believe that exist.

Living a protected, sheltered life does more damage than good.

The unseen battles that have been fought can’t even be put into words.

I found myself in the most unlikely of places.

Refusing to live up to the expectations that I now know I can never attain.

Done being the by-product of someone else’s unfulfilled life.

Fulfilling a long forgotten purpose I had.

Unable to keep quiet when I want to rise above the expected norm.

This is me.

I am human!

Perfectly imperfect.
