If Only

If only my eyes would shine like stars,

And if only my skin didn't.

If only my laugh could fill a room,

And if only my size couldn't.

If only my face had more freckles,

And if only my arms had less.

If only I never needed less make-up,

And if only I never needed more.

If only I had more than mosquito bites,

And if only my thighs weren't so big.

If only I were a couple inches taller,

And if only my arms weren't so long.

If only I could walk gracefully,

smile sweetly,

sing beautifully,

speak quietly,

be perfect.

If only I didn't have to try so hard.

And if only I knew I didn't have to.
