Everywhere I go,
They use the word love.
They tell me I'm a gift,
Sent from above.

Apparently I'm something special,
I'm different from the rest.
Some say I'm close to perfect,
Others say I'm the best.

But I don't understand,
I simply don't agree.
I'm just an average girl,
Can't they see?

I wish someone would think I was a gift sent from above. I spend all this time trying to change who I am so my own family will accept me, and still I can never be perfect.

its not that you are concieted, it is that that is how others see you. i am the same way. i do not understand how everyone can think i am this amazing person when i feel like i am nothing.
