THANK YOU STARS

I used to wish that I was somebody else
That I was living somewhere else
And that I had this and that

I used to look at myself and wish
Upon the stars that I could have this
person or that persons life

I used to wish I was cooler
Had more style
Had no hips


That I could be just a little
bit slimmer. My teeth to be
a little bit straighter,
My hair just a little bit longer
My complexion just a tad bit
lighter, that I could be a little
bit taller

But I grew up and and grew wiser
And started realising things
about myself that I really loved.
Started loving my introvertness
because it gave me time to myself.
It made me analyze situations
and it made me miss out on things
that I would later regret in life.
It helped eliminate the friends that
Would only be a liability in the long run.

I got to love my crooked teeth, my pear shaped
Body. My big smile . My sometimes crazy personality
And I learned to be assertive, to say what I
Mean to get what I want.

I later realized that the people I wanted
to be like wished they could be 'down to earth'
like me. Some were unhappy with their lives. And
Some were just not nice people.

And I woke up one day and I said
THANK YOU STARS
Because I am who I am and
Have what I have and have learnt
what I've learnt because I know that
The Best of me is yet to come
And my finest day is yet unknown

So THANK YOU STARS!!!
