Young & Carefree
I am.

Perfectly Imperfect
I am.

Wild yet vulnerable
I am.

Flawed yet human
I am.

Because of these,
Misunderstood
I am.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

I like this a lot. I love the contradicting words in the same sentence and the whole meaning of the poem. Beautifully written.

It would be better if you avoided clichés.

Really nice, and so incredably true! I love how it's short and to the point, illistrating the message clearly. Great job! :)

Simple, yet truly deep and mindful. All poetry should be like that.
