Lemonade
When I was young I was a typical child
About 3'5" and eyes of wild.
I used to love to run and play
But little did I know that that would soon fade.
Because when I was on the playground
Sipping on my lemonade
The othrs decided to pay
A visit to to tell me I couldn't stay.
They called me names and pushed me around
And little by little my self-esteem hit the ground.
Years later I would cry on the stall floor
But I didn't feel better after I saw
Skylar's a whore.
I don't know why they did these deeds.
Was it envy? Was it greed?
But just their hate was all that I need.
After 6 long years of hate and neglect
The deep pain was already in effect.
I sat on the bathroom floor
With the blade I got from the kitchen drawer.
I started to draw lines
On my anorexic chicken thighs.
It made me feel better for a while
But it was never enough to make me smile.
All the closest to me may say that this is a lie
But I can assure you
The only thing I fib
Is that I love the sip
Of lemonade.
