That Girl

For once we want to feel content With the story the universe chose for us And the person we were born and meant to be We’re tired of longing To be like that girl To be like the girls on instagram and pinterest Who have aesthetic feeds Always put together and neat Everything about them screams Perfect From the time they wake up To the food they all eat Avocado toast and lemon water Why can’t we be her? “It’s all social media” you insist But somewhere along the line We are unable to place a finger on the exact time Our minds erased the reality that All that was no more than fake So we look at them feeling though The way we live our lives is a mistake And now we hurt ourselves trying to be her Forgetting she is no more Than a handmade character
