Wishing for Society
Short skirts
short shorts
Tan legs (wish I had em’) ready to be shown off
No freckles
Bikini-ready body
Good at showing appreciation to other (wish I could do that)
I wish
I was different
Sometimes
I wish I was quieter
But my loud mouth makes people laugh and help them through
I wish I was a better daughter
But my mom doesn’t want me any other way
I wish I was more beautiful
But I smile at my reflection in the mirror
I wish I could wish
My wishes away
Get rid of all the buts
Society doesn’t want that
All I have to say with my voice that Society doesn’t control?
Screw you society.
