There is a girl...lets call her jane.
I used to know jane; i met her in 2nd grade when she was the first person that i didnt know to introduce herself to me. Ill always be thankful for Jane that day. I never became great friends with Jane though, and by middle school i didnt know more about her than a face and a name.
By junior high we were complete opposites from what i could see,
she was a preppy, popular girl
i was a pretty well known music lover
By high school she was gorgeous
with the skin of someone that tans all the time but never gets freckly
by high school i was "hippie-vegetarian" girl could possibly be too good at staying out of drama and on good terms
and that was that.
until the start of this school year...
i saw her for the first time and couldnt look away.
she was so so skinny
i dont know how she can stand
she has to see the way people look at her and know why.
She was so gorgeous
but now all i see in her are
Cheek bones.
I wish i could go back to second grade
I wish i never assumed her life had to be perfect
I wish i could say something to make things better
like she did for me in second grade
God those cheek bones.
