How you see me

I’ve been viewed in many different ways over my life
Young and sexy in my teens; in my size 8 jeans
Skinny little teen/girl; within my own little world
I was shy, nervous; insecure and naive 
Oh so terribly shy; you wouldn’t believe 
People thought I was a snob! It’s true! 
But they didn’t really have a clue 
They never walked in my shoes…

As a child I felt happy within my family 
Loved by my parents; never was that in doubt 
I enjoyed going to school; learning was a pleasure 
Knowledge was my personal treasure
I wore it like a badge of honour you know
My parents were immigrants; new to this county 
I helped them learn this weird Aussie language 
I was proud of being at the top of early classes
