A charming light chain that is almost not there
with a pendant telling me who to be
It feels like it weighs 1000 tons
Exceedingly heavy
When it's supposed to be thin
I hate it as I hate myself
Sweating encased in tulle
Shoes so high I feel pulled down
I feel like screaming

It's all too heavy
It's not me
My body is too big for this
How dare I think I am dainty
So delicate I could shatter it without blinking
But it adds another 1000 tons
To my already too much body mass

one day they'll lower my large body down
into a church-sanctioned grave
and ill feel like screaming
then too
