Like the other girls
A poem on wishes and dealing with wanting what you don’t have
I wanna be like other girls
With beautiful nails and big bouncing curls.
With tight pores and flat tummies
Yes I want to be like other girls.
I want to be like other girls.
Less shy and able to just say hi.
Be less afraid of complements and perfection.
Oh how I wish I was like other girls.
But I also wanna be like other people
Proud and happy with my features
With strong big groups of friends
And tight knit circles
If I could steal their confidence…
I’d be like other girls
Do my nails and love my skin.
Ask a girl out to coffee…
And take a boy out to watch the stars..
I’d talk and make some real good friends
Though I’ll say I have a few.
But in my heart I do know
That I’ll always want to be like other girls…
