[bodytext] => Thank you, mother Once again you boost my self-esteem Your words of love are so sweet How you show me my every flaw How you tell me my every choice is wrong And how you make me aware you enjoy none of my friends My favorite would be when you tell me I'm less than my sister She's such a good example, thank you, She's skinnier than me, smarter than me Prettier than me, everything about her (that you know) is just so Gosh darn perfect It makes me happy, so ecstatic! I'm about ready to start vomiting up my food I'll start excessively exercising, until I'm dust Because that's what you want, right? Maybe I'll go the easier rout, sniff that powder You know that stuff your scared I'll get into? Then let me ditch all my friends, I'll tell them I love them Then throw them to the side and say, "you're no good," I'll send myself to a boarding school where I can study 24/7 I'll get smart, just you wait and see! It will be just for you, mother My entire life will be about getting you those golden A's I'll also go get myself buckets of make up, so I can cake it on So thick that it'll be all that I breathe, so you won't have to Look upon my natural state I'll be everything you want, for whatever price Thanks, mom Thanks, media Without you, my self-esteem wouldn't be this good! Before I thought I was okay I was my own weight, I believed it was average - just right I believed I was pretty, I didn't need to hide behind make up I thought I liked my friends, I thought they were pretty awesome I also thought that I was doing okay at school, every teenager has their ups and downs I trusted that my choices were normal, I wasn't going to go do anything extreme and mess up my life I really believed I was doing okay But you know, you've opened my eyes these past few years I wasn't okay! It was all wrong, all of it So thank you, again, mother! You've made me realize everything My self-esteem is at it's all time high, now [comments] => 2 [counter] => 373 [topic] => 56 [informant] => the_unknown [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => sarcasticpoetry )
