I hate my body Because I’m not fat like you see on TV I don’t sit on the couch all day Eating chips and candy But if you put me in a room Of skinny girls I would be the biggest one Hiding behind their perfect blonde curls I’m the kind of fat That stays up late browsing “How much should a 15 year old weigh” As I’m actively drowning I’m the kind of fat That looks in the mirror And has never liked who she saw Wishes it was purer I’m the kind of fat That people don’t know how to respond When I mention my insecurities And so they exchange glances and move on I’m the kind of fat That fears leaving home Because what if there’s food? I can’t let them know I’m the kind of fat That eats But I hate it And I wish I could stop Wish I wasn’t hungry Wish I would just drop I’m the kind of fat That gets upset when my stomach grumbles But can’t give up food So I satisfy the rumbles I’m the kind of fat That no one really cares about Too small to be a big girl Too big to be a small girl Caught in between worlds A place where no one goes Except for the girls Who are scared and alone

Fat
I hate my body Because I’m not fat like you see on TV I don’t sit on the couch all day Eating chips and candy But if you put me in a room Of skinny girls I would be the biggest one Hiding behind their perfect blonde curls I’m the kind of fat That stays up late browsing “How much should a 15 year old weigh” As I’m actively drowning I’m the kind of fat That looks in the mirror And has never liked who she saw Wishes it was purer I’m the kind of fat That people don’t know how to respond When I mention my insecurities And so they exchange glances and move on I’m the kind of fat That fears leaving home Because what if there’s food? I can’t let them know I’m the kind of fat That eats But I hate it And I wish I could stop Wish I wasn’t hungry Wish I would just drop I’m the kind of fat That gets upset when my stomach grumbles But can’t give up food So I satisfy the rumbles I’m the kind of fat That no one really cares about Too small to be a big girl Too big to be a small girl Caught in between worlds A place where no one goes Except for the girls Who are scared and alone
You are not alone
