If Only
If only I had beautiful eyes
She said
Maybe he would love me
And his hate would fade

If only I was something I'm not
She prayed
Maybe good would come
And my problems would go away

If only the world took me as I am
She asked
Cause then I could be who I am
at last

In this poem I see my self not as narrator but as the girl. For many years I was caught up with what other people thought about me or what others said about me. For years I thought that other people had the most important opinion and that it didn't matter what I saw in myself. People always had so much to say about both what I looked like (stanza one) and what my personality was like (stanza two). But then, through tons of work and self-exploration I learned to not let those things bother me and instead be myself and let the world take me EXACTLY how I am.
