That Won't Ever Be Me!
That will never be me!
I won't be that girl
Who enjoys Barbies and dress-up
My best friend is a boy
But I don't like like him
Because he has coodies!
Watching Pokemon and climbing trees
Are my favourite things
Because they make me happy
In the simplest of ways.
That will never be me!
I won't be that girl
Who does what they just told us about
It's gross and scary
And we can't even say it
Without feeling weird
I haven't seen that boy in a few years
But my friends at school are just as fun
Harry Potter and Playstation are my favourite things
Because I like to think about what it would be like
To live in a different world.
That will never be me!
I won't be that girl
Who looks at magazines and wants to be skinny
Those models look like they haven't eaten
And it doesn't make them look pretty at all
I found the boy on Facebook
But he won't talk to me
That's okay I suppose
Kissing my boyfriend and telling my friends
Are my favourite things
Because it feels good
And I like the envy and admiration
From a simple kiss and tell.
That will never be me!
I won't be that girl
Like the one in my art lass
Who wears long sleeves
With red patches
And doesn't come to school often
I found out that the boy wen to hospital
Because he had too much
Of his favourite thing.
Nothing is simple anymore
My boyfriend and I do more than kiss
And the models
In the magazines
Are getting bigger
Or maybe that's just how I see them
That will never be me!
I won't be that girl
Who promises herself false hopes
Optimism is useless
Because it only ends in disappointment
I don't know where the boy is
I don't even care
Cutting and starving are my favourite things
Because I deserve it
Because I always thought
That I would never be this girl.
