Another one kinda about imperfections and accepting yourself for who you are
---
I wish that I was skinnier...
Maybe I'd finally look good,
Maybe I would be prettier,
I would choose to lose it all if I could.
I wish that was happy...
Maybe I wouldn't cry myself to sleep every night,
Maybe I wouldn't need to fake a smile as badly
And I wouldn't always want to fly away like a kite...
I wish that I was more popular...
Maybe I'd finally get noticed,
Maybe I would get written about by a biographer,
Or even get famous and quoted...
I wish that I was smart...
Maybe it could be a talent,
Maybe problems would be easier to solve,
And I wouldn't just be a girl in a pageant...
But I wish I didn't wish all of those things...
Because its okay that I'm different,
I have something that others can't bring to the table,
And I'm told that even if I don't believe it, I am magnificent...
I now accept who I am,
I'm never going to change,
I will never again be a beaver stuck in a dam,
And I can accept that because I'm different, to the others I'm strange...
