Times gone by
But in my mind
I recall her looking at the gorgeous ones
The ones who had long blonde hair
And mascara eyes
That voluptuous loud
And white teeth smiles
That made me feel
Like I had nothing inside
Worth expressing.

Times gone by
Still I try
To be beautiful

But all I do is put on weight
Though I exercise like mad
I hardly eat anymore
Yet I pile on the pounds
I have short hair
Brown eyes
I’m not as skinny as last you saw me
Not that you looked,
Not really,
I wasn’t one of the gorgeous ones.

And I would give
Anything
For you to look at me in that way

Anything.
