smart girl
I always wanted to be the smart girl
with her hand always raised
the answer always on her mind
in some ways I became the smart girl
in honors classes passing with good grades
but the answers started to leave my brain
people caught up with me
while my head began to sink
thoughts slowly turned from math to depression
I always wanted to be the pretty girl
with good makeup and a pretty dress
everyone watching her walk by
in some ways I became the pretty girl
at least I knew how to paint on this face
but slowly girls grew bigger while I had stayed the same
pretty is taller or thicker
not my tiny frame
I always wanted to be the talented girl
in all the plays center stage
and in some ways I was
I read every script we got
but there has always been someone better
I have always wanted to be the perfect girl
but im not
I never will be
so im hoping you'll still see some beauty when you look at me
and not just some girl
