Different Shades of Blue

How can you say such stuff
Saying that I’m not enough
When I look at myself looking back
You say there’s something I lack
Being big or being thin
Why does the lies win?
Saying your weight is bad 
Maybe you should lose a tad
Wondering why you had upsets
There’s no safety nets
Many teens struggle on a daily
When they think their crazy 
Because they think their overweight
Because of the tiny bit of food they ate
That a size 5 in jeans is fat
Wondering what’s wrong with that?
It’s just games moving through your head
Trying to get lies to get ahead
Saying your not what you could be 
Or should see
But you’re just fine without a change
But they say you're strange
What is society trying to do 
What is it doing to you?
Making up BS to take away your love
For how you look at your shape
You just know that you hate
Because thoughts that mess with our minds
Cause things that can be so unkind
Until you know that body image
Made all these girls so timid
About themselves

Jumbo

I have come to say
That there’s been days
When I been deeply in pain
When the subject has been the same 
But now I’m 18 
And I have seen 
The angry gray
The happy mood of May
The upsetting shade of blue
But some trends aren’t new
I have been dismayed
I have seen loved ones pass away
I have been in defeat
I have seen hope that has been beat
I have not lived half enough
I had to at time be all the way tough
But at my age I been through a lot
I had to untangle big knots
But that’s what I had to say
