Why

Why can't I just be pretty?
Have nice hair,
Perfectly clear skin,
And know what to wear?

Why can't I be smart?
I wish I wasn't dumb,
I can barely even add,
And find a freaking sum.

Why can't I be cool?
Just fit in,
Being an outcast,
Is what I've always been.

Why can't I be flirty?
Be smooth around boys,
And never ever,
Lose my poise.

Why can't I be confident?
Oh wait I know why,
There's nothing to be proud of,
When you have as little as I.
