I got lost in the “want-to-bes.”
I got lost,
Forgetting who I am
Because all I could think about
Was how I’d rather be “that girl.”
I can’t be “that girl.”
Whether she is smarter,
Thinner,
Nicer,
Beautiful…
I can never be her,
I can only be me.
So now,
I’m hoping to take on a
Healthier perspective and
Change me
Into a better self
As opposed to deleting me
and copying her
So I can be
“That girl.”
