If I were stronger maybe I would be all I'm suppose to be If I were smarter maybe I wouldn't have to try so hard, only to fail If I were nicer maybe I wouldn't always be so lonely If I were thinner maybe it wouldn't be so hard to make friends If I were prettier maybe people would give me half a chance If I were stronger maybe it wouldn't matter what other people thought.
I wrote this way back in highschool after watching some poor girl get tormented in the lunch line. It's old and hardly a grand showcase of my talent but I thought it had a nice message....
