Array ( [sid] => 160161 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I Thank You For The Self-Esteem Boost [time] => 2010-05-26 19:09:25 [hometext] => [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 )

I can't help but think there must be some degree of sarcasm behind this...

It kinda hurts.
