I wish I was another girl

His sapphire eyes

sparkled in the light

and received the attention of every girl in the room.

My eyes were dull

brown

boring.

His blonde hair

was impeccably straight

and soft to the touch of any hand.

My hair was frizz

an ugly brown mess

and never looked the same 2 days in a row.

His body was perfect

a football player physique

with abs hard as steel

My body was perfect.

The only thing I had to offer him, was my body.

Why do I expect more?

He uses me for my body,

and I let him.

Because

I will never measure up,

to a girl he could have.

I wish I looked more like him,

a girl that he could love.

He could never love me,

only my body.

I will still cherish that love.

Insecure
