Wants
All she wanted was to be perfect.
Was that too much to ask?
Now she flinches at her silhouette
Too late, the time has past.
All she wanted was to be happy.
With the person in the mirror
The body she wanted so badly
At least her goal is nearer.
All she wanted was to be pretty.
Like all those other girls
So happy, so perfect, so witty
As her own life unfurls.
All she wanted was to be thin.
Her worth is in the scale,
The swirling thoughts will always win
This plan of hers will fail.
All she wanted was to be good
At something, one thing, for a change
Show the others that she could
Be someone worthwhile, not so strange.
Well, she can look back and reflect
Who she used to be
All she wanted was to be perfect.
It was never meant to be.
