Life Is 2 Short Poem by Katie Priddy

I’ve been sitting here for what seems like forever. Wanting and praying for things to change faster than they are. Hopes and dreams so close it’s as if I can taste them. Setting new goals each day then putting them aside for the fear of looking like a failure when I can’t achieve it.

I don’t want to think and be that kind of person anymore. I don’t want to wonder and imagine the person I could be! I want to know and look in the mirror at the person I’ am.

I need to stop focusing on my faults and be proud of what I’ am. Who cares if I’ am not average in weight, or my hair or teeth are perfect. I’ am who I ‘am! Not what others want me to be! Others want me to be perfect, but did they ever wonder that maybe I like being imperfect?

So yeah I like being imperfect, and I like being me. God made me who I’ am, He made me special so why should I be a duplicate of someone I’ am not? ?

I’ am who I ‘am, I’m me and that’s okay because life is short to be unhappy!
