That is not me

Popularity is overrated
Just like being thin
But I will never starve myself
Nor drag blades across my skin

I'm not anorexic
Nor am I depressed
I've never been accepted
But I don't feel any less

I won't boast about my past
Nor brag about my misery
Unlike most of our society
That is not me.
