Am I pretty like her?
I ask myself that question
Everytime I see a mirror.

Can I be everything she is?
But I already know the answer,
How could anyone love this?

She can sing, I can squawk.
She prances so perfectly in the halls,
And I lumber when I walk.

My eyes are faded brown, hers are pretty blue.
She beams with confidence and smiles,
While my heart has been ripped in two.

Everytime I see a mirror,
I ask myself a question.
Could I ever be pretty like her?

&quot;Someday soon we&#039;re gonna catch that dream we&#039;ve been chasing&quot;<br /> &quot;Seven days without a horse makes one weak.&quot;<br /> &quot;The worst part of riding is when you dismount.&quot;<br /> <br /> Insult my clothes, I say, &ldquo;Okay, thanks for the compliment.&rdquo;<br /> Insult the way I look, I say, &ldquo;Thanks for notifying me.&rdquo;<br /> Mock me and say riding isn&rsquo;t a sport, and I&rsquo;ll say,&rdquo;You say that &rsquo;cause you can&rsquo;t ride.&rdquo; But before you make fun of my horse, make sure you have &ldquo;911&Prime; on your speed dial.

I can relate to this poem very well. And ask myself that question when I see my crush with another girl. But hey, you are who you are, and why die a copy. C:

Boy, when you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery.  People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody. ~J.D. Salinger,The Catcher in the Rye,
