A poem from junior year

"Elle"

She never felt like a pretty girl
With poofy brown hair and frizzy curls
She's never been on a single date
Or even been considered for the plate

She has liked her share of boys
But they've never liked her back
It made her want to cry
It made her want to crack

She sometimes feels really fat
And really ugly too
It really hurt when guys used to say
"It's not Halloween. Take off your mask and say 'boo'"

This one guy made her all depressed
She even wrote a story
Instead of the character rising to good
She ended up not going down in glory

She's really sick of these god-damned braces
And really wants to them gone
She wants to feel pretty
Which hopefully won't be long

She wants to be well-liked
Wants to be known as nice
But what comes out of her mouth sometimes
Isn't very nice

She's got the greatest friends in the world
She knows they all care
But sometimes she just feels like
A lonely polar bear

This girl is not depressed
In fact she's pretty happy
She just needs a break sometimes
And all will be just dandy

She just needs May to come
When she can feel at rest
She'll be able to see her boys again
Hopefully 40 pounds less

Random thought: I completely forgot I wrote that.
