I wanted to be a princess-
But I wasn't pretty enough
I wanted to be a ballerina-
But I wasn't skinny enough
I wanted to be a teacher-
But I wasn't smart enough
I wanted to be an actress-
But I wasn't cool enough
I wanted to be a singer or a dancer-
But nobody believed in me
I wanted to be me-
But I wasn't good enough
