/Found this in a notebook from 2017 while cleaning my room. Can't believe its been 2 years :3/

It doesn't have to be ideal
you said,
doesn't have to be perfect.

Doesn't have to be normal,
Just be you
As you are.

That's what you said.
Do you remember
That day?

But did you truly
Like me as I am
My quirks and insecurities?

Would you rather
I was black and white
No grey areas

Like black ink on white paper
No red lines or doodles
On the margin

Plain, neat and concise
Straight to the point,
Boring.

Why didn't you want the rainbow
Was it too much
All that color?

Are you happy now
That it's over
I hope you are

Because I'm still me
Slightly faded
But why would I change for you?

I'm happy as I am
I'd be happier with you
But what's the point
if I'm gonna be
a washed out version
Less than I am
Less than I can be.
