I went to bed

Recalling all the reason why 

When I looked in the mirror

I see someone I hate


I closed my eyes

Accompanied by the tears that had became my best friend

Curled in the bewilderment of

Why am I... myself?


Why can't I just be someone else?


I fell asleep

Dreaming of a 

Blonde haired

Blue eyed

Five foot ten

Beauty that was

Me


In my dream I was

Popular

Smart

Pretty


I had friends.


I woke up

The happy smile from last night still lingered by my lips

Registering the bittersweet improbability


I don't cry

My heart bleed


I don't scream

My soul sighs


I am still me.

The quiet, short, ugly, and transparent me.
