Analysis of You



You are a girl with dreams.
 A girl with passion and ambition
. A girl who goes crazy over little things. But combats the worst situations with her head held high.
A girl who has boundaries but is never afraid to fly.

You are a person very practical
But never fail to visualise situations that are unreal
A girl who talks witty
But often blurts out  things that are silly.

You are a girl sophisticated and crazy, Smart and stupid
Sweet and rude,
Reckless and a prude
You are you... perfect.

So why do you care about these judgemental jerks ha?
Why do you care about a society that is  double standard?

Why do care about people who'll you shame you if you're in a short dress;
but call you narrow minded if you're dressed modest?

Why you get hit by the words of people who do nothing but judge?
People who'll exclude you from parties. because you're too idealistic
But slut shame you for wearing a red lipstick?

Babe, remember..
You have to be you no matter what they say,
 You have to be you no matter where you stray
 You don't have to fit in a format..
You have to be you no matter what..
