The Girl I'd Like To Be.
I wake up in the morning
And look into the mirror
The girl I see is not who
I would like to be
I don't see her as very pretty
She's not too skinny either
I walk to the kitchen
And open the fridge
I opt out of breakfast
Again
School comes
And I go
My stomach growls
And I know
I should have eaten breakfast
Like I should have the days before
But I am not the girl
That I would like to be
Look at that
It's time for lunch
I stand in line
And what do I see?
I see that guy
That guy I like
The one I'd like to see
Holding my hand, walking down the street
I look at the food
It's waiting for me
It's taunting me
It wants me to consume it
I know that if I do I'll never get to be
The girl who's walking beside him
I walk on by the delicious smells
And grab a milk instead
I know I shouldn't
But now it's too late
I've skipped another day
Another day of nourishment
I go home that night
And stand on the scale
Look at that
More pounds have perished
Just a few more
I tell myself
That's all I need
To lose
He'll notice me then
I tell myself
I turn from the scale
And to the mirror
Though the pounds are gone
For that day
I still don't see
The girl I'd like to be
Tomorrow will be
Just like today
No breakfast
No lunch
No dinner.
