This Is Me - Poem Eighteen

I hate my life,

Always stuck in a fight.

With nothing but our fists.

yet my eyes fog over with gory mist.

Throw a few punches here and there,

But i'm just shatteringa mirror.

Self-image destorying my youth,

Spewing sins out by mouth.

Maybe if I was skinnier,

Maybe if I was prettier.

Maybe if I had longer hair, 

Maybe if I had manners more fair. 

Maybe if I was not me,

People would love me enough to pay a fee.

Not a penny or a dollar,

Just a heart dressed in a white collar.

But I am me,

and the problem with that is I always flee.

Because I am me,

And I will always be.
