I walk by "Here comes tiny" My ears burn "Wish I could wear those pants" I hear the murmurs "You're so skinny" I hear the whispers "Just skin and bones" I should feel good, right? "You should eat a burger" I earned this long ago "You're too bony" I put the work in "How about a bulk?" But the reflection revolting "I need to eat less" Still a decade later "I still need to lose more" Why can't I just love my body "I am such a disgust."

Skin and Bones
I walk by "Here comes tiny" My ears burn "Wish I could wear those pants" I hear the murmurs "You're so skinny" I hear the whispers "Just skin and bones" I should feel good, right? "You should eat a burger" I earned this long ago "You're too bony" I put the work in "How about a bulk?" But the reflection revolting "I need to eat less" Still a decade later "I still need to lose more" Why can't I just love my body "I am such a disgust."
I struggled with weight issues as a kid till my senior year in high school when I finally decided to do something about it. This was in 2005. I still haven't learned to be comfortable in my body.
