The answer to my Poll Question...

is Stand Still Look Pretty, by the Wreckers

I always feel a bit sad when I hear this song. I'm not sure if they are talking about someone famous or just an ordinary person but I suspect that most women can identify with the sentiments in some way or another.

I want to paint my face
and pretend that I am someone else
Sometimes I get so fed up
I don't even wanna look at myself

But people have problems that are worse than mine
I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time
And I hate the way you look at me
I have to say I wish I could start over again
I am slowly falling apart
I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start
And you might think its easy being me
You just stand still, look pretty

Sometimes I find myself shaking in the middle of the night
And then it hits me and I can't even believe this is my life

But people have problems that are worse than mine
I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time
And I wish that everyone would go an shut their mouth
I'm not strong enough to deal with it
