Bully
I am my mother's daughter
I listened to what they said
They said with such conviction
That I was too fat to be fed
Fat tub of lard
Fat, fat, fat
You are nothing
Your stomach isn't flat
Your face is too pudgy
You don't have our speed
We discard you for your looks
We will taunt you till you bleed
Liver and onions
Fat, fat, fat
Heavy breather, slow wit
A spoiled little brat
The tears flowed abundantly
I'd yell back Don't say that!
Empty apologies, forced interaction
With the girl who was just too fat
Fat tub of lard
Fat, fat, fat
Look at the couch sink down
How could anyone love that?
But I was persistant with the chase
For acceptance, maybe peace
They were family after all
They were supposed to love me
Liver and onions
Fat, fat, fat
That's all I ever was to them
A yielding punching bag
Their words shattered my spirit
But who could notice that?
I wasn't a noticeable human
I wasn't me; I was fat.
