I'm the girl you see in the corner, shyly hiding behind a curtain of hair
    and the girl you see boldly walking down the hallway, the one with the cheerful, extroverted personality.

I'm the girl who studiously finishes her homework in class - always organized, never late -
    and the girl who procrastinates until the very last minute - just because she can.

I'm the girl who's afraid to express her feelings because she doesn't want to be judged by others
    and the girl who wants to shout her every thought for the entire world to hear.

I'm the girl who remains calm and collected in every situation
    and the girl who is always the first to be consumed by anger in any argument.

I'm the girl who'd prefer to snuggle up with a book all day if she could (with food, of course!)
    and the girl who wants to walk outside for as long as she can.

I'm the girl who throws on a sweatshirt and sweatpants at any given opportunity
    and the girl who would gladly walk around in a dress and heels all day if they were comfortable enough.

I'm the girl who "forgets" to care about Twilight.
    (If you didn't know, books about vampires are so last season, anyhow. So... overrated.)

I'm the girl who goes through manga and anime like nobody's business.
    Bleach, Fairy Tail, Fullmetal Alchemist, among too many others.
         Who cares if every few pages in Bleach is just someone sustaining one wound or another?

I'm the girl who'd like to be herself
    in a world where it's almost easier to pretend
         to be someone you're not.

I'm just a girl, but, frankly,
    I'll never be perfect.
         And that's fine with me.
haha being insane right now and worrying bout my ap us govt test. ;P

Beautifully written. Besides that fact that I empathize with almost all of this, I loved the phrasing style and the continuity of thought. Simpky excellent! Clap
