This Is Reality.

So, maybe I’m the only one who laughs at my jokes,
but at least I’m smiling.

Maybe I don’t look like a supermodel when my clothes come off,
but at least I’m comfortable with my self-image.

Maybe I’m not a prodigy in the classroom,
but at least I can sustain an intelligent conversation.

Maybe I won’t sleep with you the first night,
but at least I have morals.

Maybe profanity never seeps from my lips,
but at least I speak with some class.

Maybe I don’t play many sports,
but at least I’ll attempt any and be able to laugh at my amateurism.

Maybe drugs aren’t fun to me,
but at least I’m high on life.

Maybe I don’t always know what advice to give,
but at least I’m genuinely listening.

Maybe I believe some things that I shouldn’t,
but at least I don’t have trust issues.

Maybe I do some “stupid” things,
but at least I’m open-minded.

Maybe I make mistakes multiple times,
but at least I eventually learn something from them.

Maybe I’m not your dream girl…
but at least I realize this is reality.
