I wish


I wish I was comfortable in my own body.

I wish I didn't have to starve myself to feel pretty.

I wish I had the perfect body.

I wish I looked pretty without makeup on.

I wish I was able to walk around without my bracelets on.

I wish I had skinnier thighs.

I wish I looked like those girls at school.

I wish I didn't always binge eat.

I wish I wasn’t ashamed of my own scars.

I wish he would look at me and not her.

I wish he would just shut up.

I wish I looked like her.
