If only I was thinner,
just a bit slimmer,
If only I had a better heart,
if only I was smart.
If only my face was more beautiful
then maybe I would be,
more meaningful.
If I ate less a day,
or exercised a certain way,
may I look better?
If I had more friends,
less split ends,
a girlfriend or boyfriend,
would I be happier?
If I was cooler,
had better style,
went that extra mile to look better,
would I still be sad?
If I had a better jawline,
or a better eye line.
Or if I was the fastest,
or the smartest,
or the prettiest,
would all my problems go away?
No.
Because the only thing I long for,
to make my day,
Is you.
And in trying to be yours,
I realised I gained even more flaws,
and became a mess.
So, please just understand,
I'm trying my best,
and yes I may be weirder than the rest,
But really, I couldn't care less.
Because I am done trying,
and done lying.
It's your decision now,
if you love or hate me?
But, I can't change myself no more,
just so I will be,
the one you want to see before,
you die.
