If I Was Born Beautiful (RE-edited)

by RunningOnEmpty   May 7, 2007


From my other account, but it's messed up there... this is edited:

All the people on TV
Look much more beautiful than me
Their six pack chests and vibrant eyes
They'll always be who I depise

Why can't I ever be like them
Record deals, or smoother skin
A better face, perfect complexion
Why won't I be more like them?

I wish that I weren't born as me
I can't stop feeling so ugly
I wish that there were many lines
Of people who'd want to be mine

My heart just won't let the thought go
The answer only they could know
How it is to be perfect, how it is to be love
How it is to be looked upon as if they were a god

Why was I born scary
Unappealing to peoples' taste
As far as I am too concerned
My body is a waste

I wish I weren't for radio
I want to look "TV"
Cause if I was born beautiful
Then people would love me

    I feel like saying
    Redundancy is power
    Because in this case, it is.
    I don't think this is the best poem you can do.
    But it is the most touching, at least for me.
    I would say you've got potential to be the best
    But no, I think you're already one of the best in this site.
    Back to this poem.
    I'm just not into simplicity, it's me.
    I like complicated stuff.
    But then the stuff that I like are forced.
    This was simple and flowed.
    Although it feels like you wrote it for little kids.
    I know less is more.
    But maybe you could add
    A bit of vocabulary there without ruining
    This peice.
    Sorry if you were offended :]
    I'll give you a 5/5 for this one, though

    HOLY SHIZNIT!
    I remember this poem.
    I did NOT realize it was from you though.
    Is this a year old?
    Or older?
    I think it is.
    Because I remember reading this when I was younger.
    Or maybe this wasn't the poem... just something extremely like it.
    But I was reading, and I remember almost crying.
    I don't cry, dearie.
    The poem was okay...
    The topic you chose is the best.
    I refuse to write one it, though.
    It would feel like I'm plagiarizing your peice.
