Do you think I'm pretty?

I'm definitely no Megan Fox

Maybe I act too witty

like I live outside the box.



Maybe I'm nothing more than mediocre

forever rated PG.

It's not like I'm some smoker

just regular old me.


Constantly on my period

acting like such a you-know-what

like the number myriad

I'm always such a nut.


I want you to like me so much

and not be "just a friend",

to feel that warm, loving touch

and not just play pretend.
