Skinny
I wanted to be skinny
to fix all that I saw
to bring myself some dignity
and try to get through it all.
I made myself a plan.
I was ready to follow through.
But now I'll be stuck all fat and alone
All because of you.
You said "Do whatever,
I can't stop you, I guess."
But I'd do anything to make you think
that I'm nothing like the rest.
You never said you hated me
or that I did something wrong
You said you didn't want me to starve
Even though it wouldn't be for long
