i can't do it..


I can't do it

I can't walk back in there 

What if I still get hit?

They still won't care

They still call me fat 

I'm still ugly 

They'll slam me on the mat

I'm trying...

I can't do it

He will still only want me for sex 

She'll only need me for the homework 

He still loves his ex 

All I'm good for is using a fork 

I can't do it 

I'll still eat in the bathroom 

Or I won't eat at all

At least that way I'll be skinny

I can't do it...
