I Am...

I am imperfect but I am happy,
I wonder if dreams come true,
I hear laughter,
I see smiles,
I am imperfect but I am happy.

I pretend I am outgoing,
I feel rather shy,
I touch upon my feelings,
I worry about small things,
I cry when times get though,
I am imperfect but I am happy.

I understand that life isn’t easy,
I say always be strong,
I dream of large ambitions,
I hope worries will fade,
I am imperfect but I am happy.
