That Girl

I want to be THAT girl.
That girl that everyone envies, but can't seem to hate.
That girl that people go to for advice for their first date.
That girl that everyone can't wait to see.
That girl that everyone wants to be.
That girl whose smile lights up a room.
That girl who makes all the boys swoon.
You'll never see that girl sad,
You'll never see that girl mad.
She'll always sit the perfect way,
And listen to anything you have to say.

I want to be THAT girl.
The one with flowers in her hair and a sparkle in her eye.
The one with the perfect words to say when you come to her to cry.
The one with the perfect body and glossy hair to match
The one who can make the perfect brownies in just the first batch.
She'll rock your world and blow your mind,
With moves and ideas you thought you'd never find.
That wink, that grace,
That kindness, that face.
Every ounce of her being,
Everything you are seeing...
That's not who I am.

Do you see that strong tall tree?
That's the tree I would climb and scrape my knee.
Do you see that tiny house?
That's the house I grew up in and fought off that big mouse.
You know Pocahontas the movie?
That's what inspired my four year old self to respect the earth for its beauty.
Oh, and that singer P!nk?
I looked up to her because she didn't care what others would think.
There was a guy.
That's the guy that made me sigh.
There was a girl.
That's the girl who made me laugh and twirl.
I am THIS girl.
