Thigh Dreams

I am covering my thighs in baby powder, to ease the sore chapped skin

They are now red and raw after exercising, at an aim at being thin

my goal is to drop a few pounds, and maybe achieve a thigh gap

my thighs rub together with every step that i take, it gets worse with every lap

i would like to blame the celebrity pictures, of skinny thighs, its mostly photo shop

so ive decided to take a stand, start exercising and do a few food swaps

so i put on some lippy, and head to the gym, i am feeling and looking lush

After a few weights and a several rounds on the treadmill, i look like i have been dragged through a bush.

As beads of sweat run down my face , and my mascara starts to run

I realise its not so great in here, and it really isn't any fun

So if you see me baby elephanting, pounding the streets, and the roads shake within every lap

Just remember that i am doing all this for the skinny persons thigh gap.
