I

I....

I have naturally blonde hair
I pluck my eyebrows
I have my father's temper
my mother's hands
I have straight teeth
and blue eyes
I love music
I rarely get sick
I like the colour purple
I've had many relationships
I used to love cats
But my hair is still naturally blonde
and my teeth are still straight
and I probably won't always like
the colour purple

I have lovely skin
I have lips that like to smile
I have veins that bleed
I go red when I'm nervous
I feel the pain of others
but cry for no reason
I like the smell of rain
I’ve worried since I was a child
I grew up on the beach
but don’t like swimming in the ocean
I've been on countless diets
I've faked a laugh
But I still bleed
and my lips still like to smile
and my skin won't
always be lovely

I have strong shoulders
I have fair skin
I have a long nose I
borrowed from my grandmother
I have beautiful nails
but bite them regularly
My toes are strange
I like to write
I used to make daisy chains as a child
I never brush my hair before bed
I cheated on tests
I pretended to talk on my phone in awkward situations
But I still have fair skin
and I still bite my nails
and I probably won't always have
strong shoulders
and I may not always write
But maybe I'll start
making daisy chains again
