I went through many phases throughout my short life;
15 years to be exact.
In sixth grade I was obsessed with the Twilight series.
I read all the books in only a week
I guess you could call me a Twi-freak
Being an outcast because everyone else was a Gleek.

In 8th grade I wanted to be asian.
So I watched anime everyday.
Naurto was my show,
which is really such a blow
because it bored the crap out of me.
And the only reason I watched it was because my best friend did.
My friend who attracted all the guys
with her pretty face and all her lies
but she still denies the fact that she broke alot of hearts
including mine.

In 9th grade I stopped eating
because a kid called me fat.
And he never even learned that even if it's just a joke,
and even if you try to revoke the fact that you said that word,
you need to be assured that it's really quite absurd
because words really do affect people.
And I guess it affected me
because when I see pretty girls in magazines,
their hips are small with bones peeking out,
and I could never amount to anything like that.

And when I was called fat
I ate one meal a day
thinking "eh, I'll be okay".
But I wasn't.
Because all my life I've been trying to be something, someone I'm not.
Because I got caught up in my own anxiety,
looking through the eyes of our corrupt society.
