Endless Questions

Why was I named as a Sarah?
When I could be an Ann or Melissa,
If I was named as something else,
It could’ve been different. 

Why was I born as fat and stout?
When I could be lanky and tall,
If I was thin and slender,
My life maybe must be better

Why am I having big ambitions?
When I could just slack off and be rebellious,
If I didn’t try to please anyone else,
I may have been happier.

My life is full why’s and what if’s,
And I’m neither happy nor sad about it,
I try to live to the fullest,
But endless questions still haunts me.

Hello Sarah,You are you and can only be you.You can change you,no one else can change you. I have a girlfriend she is not slim, we are very close friends. My dead husband was over weight I married him. Do not be bitter. You have not met the right person yet.
