A Simple Girl

I'm a simple girl who goes about my life as it comes.

I don't understand much of what happens,

but I go on hoping someday I'll understand.

I'm not gorgeous or beautiful, I'm just me,

if you want to know my opinion.

My imperfections are the only things I see,

when I take a good look in the mirror.

Maybe at an earlier part of my life

I may have believed those words applied to me,

but not now not anymore

I'm a simple girl, I don't go around with high

expectations in life,

but I know what I deserve.

The reason for this is

I've learned expecting things at such a high level

won't ever meet what you want,

but when you know what you deserve

you can actually make sure you get it.

I'm a simple girl, I've learned the only person

who will keep you in thought all day is God,

I won't ever be the center of anyone else's mind.

I'm a simple girl, I've learned crying

will always be a part of my life,

and that's something I've learned to accept.

I'm a simple girl,

I don't go pleasing everyone I know

because doing that

won't ever cause me to be happy

therefore I see no point.

I'm a simple girl, I don't think

every guy will break my heart,

but I know some will leave me hurting.

I know the pain of heartache,

and I also know the relief once it heals

even though in the deepest part of the heart

there's a small piece

that's either broken or stolen.

I am a simple girl,

there's nothing really special about me.

I wasn't blessed with a lot of things.

Only a few things that I really need.

I have a few real friends and a loving family.

I'm a simple girl, who has her imperfections,

yes it's true.

But the thing about these imperfections is

I wouldn't change them for perfections

because then I'd be a different person and not me.
