Perfectly Me

Daring.
Wondrous.
Mysterious.
Firebrand.
I am perfectly me.

I hear the words
Molded into actions
Down the halls.

“He likes girls
who are…”
“Dumb”
“Girly”
“Athletic”
“Preppy”

I see these girls
Become…
“Athletic”
“Girly”
“Preppy”
And worse “Dumb”

It starts off as a game.
Innocent as can be.
But then they become
A girl they’re not.

There’s me
Doing my homework.
Getting dates.
By being…
Perfectly me.
