Howcome nobody's responded to this, yet..? o.O Anyway, I feel ike such a rick giving you advice, but there's one line that seems a little out of place...

We wish to live different lives
We wish to be taller, smarter, better-looking

See the second line? I think it's a bit much for, well, the second line... It might work better if there were more build-up to that point. Like:

We wish to live different lives
We wish we had more money
We wish to be taller, smarter, better-looking
We wish there were people
Who wished that they were us.

It'd also match your 4th stanza better, since it would be repetition of the same process:

We wish we were someone else
We wish we didn't hate ourselves
We wish we were content, happy, free
We wish we were satisfied.

Heh. Anyway, opinions are like buttcracks, an' all... Still, I love this poem. It has a wonferul build-up in each stanza and finishes on such a poigniant note. Great job.
