#3 - Fat

I eat a lot of food, so what?

I drink a lot of pop, who cares?

I'll eat stew right out the pot.

I'm asleep all day like the bears.

I was confident and strong,

I thought I was attractive.

Turns out I was incredibly wrong.

Turns out I shouldn't live.

I should die in a hole,

go to Africa and vomit.

Live my life like a mole,

throwing up would make me "fit."

All of that and more according to you.

According to you I should become a man.

I also am also a ladyboy too.

With your support I actually am.

Do you even hear yourself?

Do you even know the pain

you cause with your stealth?

My confidence is beginning to wane.

I don't look in the mirror anymore.

I think I am so selfish.

I hate myself and every single pore,

I can't eat a single dish.

I am stronger now,

one year on and I'm fixed.

I'm no longer a cow.

Even though my feelings are mixed

I can't help but thank you,

thank you my enemy.

Even though you've got no clue,

you have set me free.
