Keep it Light

You wonder why you’re not pretty like her
And why God didn’t bless you with her curves
You wonder why you’re the one they call fat
Do you think it’s something you deserve?

You wonder why the boys don’t like you
And why they only look at one thing
But with the others, they look at everything
You wonder why you’re not skinny.

You ask yourself how it came to this
And how you got so big
you wonder why no one said anything
And if you’ll ever win.

You’re growing colder now, too cold
You cry when you’re alone at night
And into yourself you fold
You’re crawling under your skin.

You know that if you don’t eat,
You won’t get what you really need
But maybe you’ll become skinny, and
You can make up for this gluttony and greed.

You wonder what will happen if you don’t eat
Will you die eventually because of starvation?
You tell yourself once you’re skinny, you’ll eat
But then, you start thinking in new ways

You can never be too skinny
You’d rather die than be fat
In this game, you have to be winning
Even if it means losing life for that.
