Changed

I stare at my reflection

and the list begins to form

I'd change my hair, my mouth

and my eyes and my nose

I grab at my skin

and wish to change my size

I'd die to be talented

and smart and beautiful

I wouldn't mind changing anything

and if I could

I'd change everything

and it would be from the top of my head to the bottoms of my toes

I would change it all

but what I would love to change most of all

Is my brain

so all my negative thoughts could go away

And I would clear out my heart

so that I could change the way I hate myself

And I would washout all these scars

so that I could remember that my body is perfect

If I could

I'd change it all

The standards of beauty

so that girls and boys alike

Don't suffer from these ugly thoughts

because nothing about them is uglier

Than the thoughts that make them think they are
