What would I change
If I could change
If I could fix every little
insecurity
that lies within my mind
would I, even be I?
I could fix my nose
or figure
by funneling foreign substances
into my body
But would my body be me?
I've thought many times
If only
If only I was pretty
If only I was tall
If only I was more intuiitive
If only I was less sensitive
If only I didn't worry so much
If only I wasn't so impulsive
The answer is
I'd change
I'd change a whole lot of things
but I wouldn't be I.
I am a plain face
with a short athletic body
I am ditzy
I worry about things
that will probably never happen
I act on a whim
to deal with consequence later
I bet you would change you too
but I wouldn't advise
you have to think about others
think through their eyes
the people that you love
love who you are
that's nothing you want to change.
