"I am not a Barbie, I am a girl" by Emily Lawson

I am not a Barbie, I am a girl

I do not have a perfect body and flawless hair

I’m a human being that is perfectly imperfect

I do not have people dress me

People do not crave my existence

I am normal in a unique way

I have insecurities

Brush my hair

Call me pretty

Idolize me

thirst to be like me

No, take me as I am

except me

I’m just a girl that needs a place

I have a personality, strengths and weaknesses

I’m not perfect

I am not a Barbie, I am a girl
