I look in the mirror and what do I see? <br />nothing but the pretty girl I wish I could be <br />My friends tell me I should be happy about who I am, <br />but right here, right now I don't think I can. <br />In a world that's superficial, <br />girls now artificial. <br />I don't want to be like that <br />just because I'm not a size zero doesn't mean I'm fat! <br />I try my own ways <br />they mumble and whisper 'Its just a phase.' <br />I wont were 10 pounds of makeup <br />my skin is clean and wont breakup. <br />What ever you say <br />I'll go my own way <br />your no friend of mine <br />if you can't show me your kind. <br />I'll find a new crowd <br />where I can be proud <br />of who I am. <br />About you...I don't give a damn. <br /> <br />And with that I stroll out of the store for girls who eat as little as possible so that they can fit into the cloths, and onto the street, breathing in crisp fresh air. Walking by a cafe a man with gentle eyes smiles softly at me, I decide to go in. The chiming bells signaling the passage of one life to another.<br /><br />Angelic Warrior<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-life-i-never-wanted/
