Eat.

by ?   Feb 3, 2005


You all say I don’t eat enough
That I’ll turn anorexic one of these days
But you say this when you’re slim and pretty
Setting my heart ablaze

Ablaze with jealousy and hate, wishing away
You eat more than I do, and you’ve still always been like this
You’re still slimmer, more fitting
But still your lecturing persists

I’m not just being paranoid, and it’s not my head telling me this
My best friend sees it too, at least she has the right
The right to tell me off, since she’s more my size
But you are just slim to the sight

I don’t know how to get you to stop telling me this sh*t
So I eat less and don’t let it stay down
But I look at myself in the mirror and I’m how I was
Back when they made fun of me and brought up this frown
