Array ( [sid] => 9303 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Selfish [time] => 2002-12-27 09:00:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I Hated who I was,
So I suddenly made a change,
It went too far, and can't go back,
The sudden weightloss, the pale skin,
When I see who I am,
I look into the mirror,
I have a thin figure with long auburn hair,
When I walk into the room,
The smell of cigarette smoke fills the air,
And I thought I would be so proud of who I am,
I am nothing but what I hated,
Something I thought I would never become,
I wished so hard, and fought so long,
But in the end got nothing of what I thought,
A chain smoking weightloss addict with nothing to do but pity herself,
Sit there in the dark crying over what she can't get,
A selfish child who always has fits,
Wanting the one man she can never have,
And ignoring the ones who want her,
All she needs now is to have another make over,
Some lipstick, a little eye shadow, mascara, and a pretty smile,
A new pair of jeans, and a tight little shirt,
The personality of a snake, but the beauty of a diamond,
A heart filled with anger, and eyes filled with hate,
Someone who can't be happy,
Someone who can't sleep,
A plotter, a thinker,
But not a love finder,
Cheated out of life,
And soon out of love,
But now she has to formulate a plot,
success is the only option, failure is not!
