Maybe if I stopped eating
I'd be skinny
I could buy a fake tanner
And bring some warmth to my skin
Wear push up bras
And do one hundred squats a day
Give myself a more curvy figure
Stop wearing heels
And hunch over
So I'm not so tall
Grow my hair out long
And bleach it blonde
Curl it every morning
Use chemicals
To burn away the acne
Wear natural makeup
Take out the extra piercings
Let them close up
Burn my closet
And replace it
With Brandi Melville crop tops
Tight fit dresses
Shave every day
Paint my nails lavender
Buy vanilla perfume
Make an appointment with the orthodontist
Take down all the artwork on my walls
Replace it with polaroids
That all follow a pastel aesthetic
Quiet down
Put the books back on the shelf
Study every second possible
Wave goodbye next time I look in the mirror
I could be a magic girl
The kind everyone likes
And maybe they would
At least start to like me
Maybe boys would talk to me
And friends would ask me to hang out
And I'd get texts
And likes
And maybe then
I'd be worth something.
