Shiny Smiles

I sit rotting on my phone
And as I look at the girls on my screen
Straight teeth and shiny smiles
How I long to be what they are
How I long to have a non existent waist and the legging legs there fake workouts wouldn't give me
But I don't
So I sit and I stare at there posts and I like them 
but then I unlike them because something feels wrong about me liking what I will never be 
but then I like them again because that shiny smile is just so perfectly likeable
And it's not there fault I hate myself
And it's not there fault I hate there straight teeth and shiny smile
Because I don't hate them
I hate me next to them
