I look in the mirror
What do I see?
A picture of horror
And unhappy me
What do I see?
When I look down the hall
An unhappy me
My self esteem falls
When I look down the hall
I can see that I’m different
My self esteem falls
I don’t feel sufficient
I can see that I’m different
In my size and my face
I don’t feel sufficient
I’m behind in the race
In my size and my face
I can’t bear to be me
I’m behind in the race
I don’t want to be
I can’t bear to be me
There is nothing I wouldn’t do
I don’t want to be
I just wish I was you
There is nothing I wouldn’t do
To feel normal for a day
I just wish I was you
In every single way
To feel normal for a day
To feel thin, to feel hot
In every single way
Be something im not
To feel thin, to feel hot
All that I need
Be something I’m not
I’m begging God please
All that I need
To feel right in this world
I’m begging God please
Let my straight hair be curled
To feel right in this world
Let me be 3times smaller
Let my straight hair be curled
Let me be 1 foot taller
Let me be 3 times smaller
Let my green eyes be blue
Let me be 1 foot taller
Let my beauty be true
Let my green eyes be blue
Let my world be right
Let my beauty be true
A beautiful sight
My world would be right
If I could only be
A beautiful sight
Someone other than me
If I could only be
Someone other than me
Than you’d never see
An Unhappy Me

I love how you put two of the rhyming lines in the next stanza. Quite creative actually. I never thought of that... I wonder why I haven't...
Good luck in the contests, Jasmine.
