Sarah Sublett Poet Lyric

If I Were

If I were stronger I could be a lot of things
I could forget my past
I could stand up for myself 
I could sing louder and laugh more
I could show my true self

If I were wiser I could do a lot of things
I could think smart things
I could contribute to a conversation
I could be scientific
I could give good advice

If I were beautiful I could do a lot of things
I could tease with my beauty
I could break hearts
I could love without worry
I could get what I wanted

But I'm just me and 
I'm not strong because I couldn't forget you
I'm not wise because I let myself need you
I'm not beautiful because I didn't get what I wanted
