Simple

I am a simple girl

But I realized

That with time, I could be more-

if I tried.

And I'm not that great, but

I could do amazing things.

And I think that

I could accomplish anything that I set my mind to.

But I choose not to.

I can make my dreams come true.

Ever since that first palindrome they have became popular. In my opinion, palindromes are interesting, as long as you get it right. If you really want to challenge yourself you can do a word palindrome. Kinda like

Cows and chickens
Eating seeds and haystacks
Is it madness?

-backwards-

Madness it is
Haystacks and seeds eating
Chickens and cows

Those are complexed. Great job on this one! (Btw: welcome to YWS)

Palindromes are obviously becoming a fad on YWS. I like this, the only nitpick I have is the third line "That with time, I could be more-" Try taking out the word "That" and when you read it forward and backward, it reads more smoothly. I liked this poem and the idea behind it. I understand the feelings of self doubt, I have self doubt and self esteem issues myself. The only other nitpick I have actually is the central idea. You contradict yourself in saying that you are simple but then towards the end (when you read it forwards) you say that your personality is perplexing and infuriating. So, try to make up your mind. Also, Please, capitalize the first letter in every line.

I hope this review helped, Keep writing :D

Thanks, and I tried editing it beforehand, and I didn't think that it sounded right, and I changed it because I thought it might sound better, but I'll fix it.
The idea is that I am simple, my actions are simple, yet the way I think is complex. I think in confusing ways, but the courses of action I take are simple.
And the capitalization thing was an accident.
Thanks ^^
