So what if I’m not stick thin

or deliciously curvy?

So what if I don’t have perfect skin

or don’t wear contacts instead of glasses to see?

So what if I shower at night

and own a stuffed animal or two?

So what if I sleep with the tv’s light

and like to visit the zoo?

I don’t need your applause

for me to take a bow.

I don’t even need to pause

or care about your raised brow.

Because, can’t you see?

I’m happy just being me.
