Look like that


I'm sitting in the middle of class 

can't seem to focus on the math 

she's caught my eye

the girl with the long flowy brown hair 

she's just so damn pretty 

and skinny 

she glances back without a care

how can someone just look like that 

I don't understand

grabbed all the others guys attention 

 it's not that I have a crush on her  

I just want to be her

life must be so easy 

she's got it all 

the clothes 

the hair 

the body 

god all I can do is stare 

she's just so happy 

how can she eat and not gain anything 

it's not fair

her arms are thin 

and thighs don't touch 

she's hairless cat

no blemish in sight 

what i'd give to look like that 

maybe if I was skinny 

i'd be happy 

no need for intelligence, when you can look like that

she's so sweet 

and funny 

doesn't even have to try 

she's already won everyone's hearts 

 I work so hard for the hope that in future I have half of what she has 

she doesn't even need to lift a finger 

she has everything i've ever wanted 

she's got a dad 

and a sober mother 

maybe if I looked like that I could have my dad back 

I could have lived like that 

if only I looked like that.
