I’m at a healthy weight,
but I wish I was thinner
I”ll never stop thinking about the first boy who broke my heart
I think that buying more clothes will
make me happy
I constantly underestimate myself
I constantly second guess myself
For one reason or another,
I am jealous of everyone
Ecstatic can turn to devastated
within seconds
My trust and innocence have been destroyed
I look for happiness in the eyes of strangers
I have made countless mistakes
and the best thing I have ever come to realize is that
I am completely normal

I like the poem for the most part.  I love the honesty and how I can completely relate to it.  The only thing I don't really like is the last line.  I'm not completly sure why but it doesn't really go with tone of the poem and how you (like me and the rest of the world) have problems with exepting yourself.  That may just be me and otherwise this is a really good poem.
