I’m less of a woman because I’m fat I’m treated like one of the guys No doors were held for me everyday And most of the time, I’m fine with that No gentleman was ever gentle to me No girl was ever a friend to me All these empty spaces they left me I decided to put doubt and insecurities in They say it’s okay They say love yourself in a way That itself should be enough for the light of day But they don’t know how it is for me each day I just want to feel loved and wanted I just want to feel important and painted I’m tired of being black and white All I need is a little color on my sky I’m less of a person because I’m scarred I’m less of a human because I’m “ugly” That’s what they said to me I’m less of a woman because I’m fat

Less of a Woman
I’m less of a woman because I’m fat I’m treated like one of the guys No doors were held for me everyday And most of the time, I’m fine with that No gentleman was ever gentle to me No girl was ever a friend to me All these empty spaces they left me I decided to put doubt and insecurities in They say it’s okay They say love yourself in a way That itself should be enough for the light of day But they don’t know how it is for me each day I just want to feel loved and wanted I just want to feel important and painted I’m tired of being black and white All I need is a little color on my sky I’m less of a person because I’m scarred I’m less of a human because I’m “ugly” That’s what they said to me I’m less of a woman because I’m fat
