Thanks, Society
Thanks, Society
Thanks for destroying my confidence
Thanks for being this mighty
giant, giving my negative self-image credence
Thanks for not allowing me to
eat without wanting to throw up
Thanks for making me permanently blue
Thanks for making beautiful mean make up
slathered on
The only way to feel, to get noticed is to cut
You shove models' tiny waists and big
boobs in my face. Because of you I always suck in my gut
The only way to find something positive about me, I have to dig
You push alcohol and drugs
to little kids. You make young girls give up their virtue
You put heavy jugs
of constant worry and self-loathing onto shoulders undue
You drive us to strive for popularity
To not just accept ourselves
To follow you blindly
Thanks, Society
