No, No, No


I look into the mirror and think I'm ugly,

no, no, no he says,

I hold my tummy and think I'm fat,

no, no, no, he says,

I listen to the names I'm called and believe every word,

no, no, no he says,

I tell him I don't belong here,

no, no, no, he says,

I tell him I need to die,

no, no, no, he says,

I love you he says,

and I say I love you too,

yes.yes, yes, he says.
