Girls like me

Are suppose to be the comedic relief

We're suppose to be the people who make others laugh

By making jokes about ourselves  or letting others joke about us

we're not suppose to but the main characters

We're not suppose to be the main characters till we lose fifty pounds

Then we can be the main characters

Then we are allowed to be happy

Then we are allowed to be confident

Then we are allowed to get the guy

And when we work up the confidence to talk to him

We're suppose to get laughter out of the room

I've seen all the tv shows I've read all the books

I know how the story is suppose to end

I know how the plot goes

Because girls like me aren't suppose to live happily ever after

Not in this society

Because girls like me are suppose to spend their prom night in tears

Because who would want to embarrass themselves with me

Because none of the dress fit

And I know how the story is suppose to end

Because they tell us

There are no other options

Besides losing fifty pounds

Or a bullet to the brain

For girls like me

There is no just be happy

Or love who you are

There is no model

For us to look at on the cover of magazines

We are not just empty voids

Vacant of all emotions

We hear the names you call us

And if not from you than from others

We're people to

But for me

And those who look like me

There is suppose to be no happy ending

There is only suppose to be humiliation

There is suppose to be tears

Because we don't feel worthy

Because we're told

Over

And

Over again

That only pretty princess live happily ever after
