Am I the only one

Who goes to the people they mutually follow

And checks to make sure

That they're still following me?

Am I the only one

Who wishes she could fix herself

With a couple of sit-ups?

Am I the only one

Who's obsessed with

The idea of a curvy

But bikini ready body?

Am I the only one 

Who thinks that

She shouldn't be,

(But still is)

Obsessed with little things

Like the way my hair looks

When it's pulled back?

Am I the only one

Who thinks that they're

Alone in a room

Full of people

Am I the only one

Who has only one thing

To look forward to

(A concert, if you'd like to know)?

Am I the only one

Who knows the true weight

Of a real friendship?

Am I the only one

Who knows what it's like

To work on that friendship

Until your hands a bleeding

Your knuckles cracked

And the only thing you can do 

Is sit down

And hug?

Am I the only one

Who hates myself

But thinks that 

I'm not so bad

At the same time?

Am I the only one

Who's a walking irony?

I hope not.
