No I don’t want the curve of your hips
Or your pouty blood red lips.
No matter how many times I stare
I really don’t want your dark glossy hair.
Your smiling pictures don’t deceive me,
I don’t fall for your romantic story.
I may ooh and aah at your pretty gown
But under all that paint, don’t you feel like a clown?
You might be living a really exciting life,
(Yes, that possibility does give me sleepless nights.)
Still, if I had to choose an alternate reality,
Hands down, I’d prefer my “own” originality.

We love this! To express feelings like these are sure signs of a healthy self-esteem and a healthy image of yourself. Yay!

Thank you 🙂 I realize that no matter how much I admire traits of others, there’s no one I’d rather be (than me)!

Roy wrote a song a long time ago, the chorus goes:
“There’s nowhere to go / there’s nothing to be
Enjoy all the sunlight / remember it’s free
There’s nobody else / that I’d rather be
You keep your reasons / but I’m keeping me”
