I I have blonde hair I pluck my eyebrows I have my father's nose, my mother's hands I have crooked teeth and green eyes I play guitar I used to get sick alot I like the color of wine I've cheated on boyfriends I've owned fake ID But my hair is still blonde and my teeth are still crooked and I probably won't always like the color of wine
II I have firm breasts I have lips that always smile I have veins that bleed I laugh when I'm nervous I feel the pain of others but cry for no reason I like open flame I've been selfish since a child I'm from Alaska but hate the cold I've cheated on diets I've faked applications But I still bleed and my lips still smile and my breasts won't always be firm
III I have strong shoulders I have olive skin I have a Swiss face I borrowed from my grandmother I have long nails on my right hand which break regularly My little toe is strange I write I used to make wreaths from dandelions I brush my hair before bed I cheated on tests I faked flirtatious fake accents But I still have gold skin and my nails still break and I probably won't always have strong shoulders and I may not always write But maybe I'll start making wreaths from dandelions again
