Skinny

Skinny is the dream It's the goal isn't it? You won't be happy unless you're skinny, unless you're a clone Boys won't give you the time of day You won't be the first in line for a bikini But you know what? You're you, and that is better than any clone out there You are different You are special And no one can copy that, no one can take that away from you Yea there's a number on the scale However I don't see why that has to define you People worry about image, but no one seems to care about the personality part And that is what is wrong with people It's something like that that starts the self-hate Once it starts, it doesn't stop You will feel ugly around people, you will stop eating to look like the other other girls, and you will harm yourself out of self-loathing But there is someone out there who loves you just the way you are There is someone out there who sees you for your true beauty Someone who wants to see your smile And if you don't have that someone, I'll be your someone You are original, don't ever feel bad about it So as just another teenager, I'd like to say to you.... F*ck skinny Skinny is not a definition, it is an adjective No one is skinny Everyone weighs a different amount of pounds, everyone is a different shape, everyone is a different size, nobody is skinny Skinny isn't real, so don't revolve your life around an imaginary term.
