I wish I were pretty

I wish I were pretty, and life would be bright,

With long blonde hair, and nothing to fight.

Tall and strong, nothing could stop me.

A slender waist, blue eyes, and all would notice me.


I wish I was pretty, nothing to worry at all.

I With friends who'd surround me, and lovers who'd call.

Witty and clever, no one could deny,

With a warm heart and a laugh that lights up the sky.


I wish I were pretty, chosen with ease,

Admired by many, always there to please.

But beauty fades, and dreams often stray

In the end, it's who we are that truly stays.
