Want to be
I don't want to be the kind of person who
puts her kidney fat on display;
is able to visibly count her ribs;
requires makeup;
hates her body.
I don't want to be the kind of person who
never looks at a lost dog poster;
rolls her eyes at parents with young children;
groups people into stereotypes;
doesn't care.
I don't want to be the kind of person who
always carries a headache;
snaps at her husband;
makes herself sick from stress;
allows others to push her around.
I want to be the kind of person who
has a snack for the neighbor kids;
laughs more often than grumbles;
enjoys sunshine and snowflakes on her face equally;
is loved by others.
