why do you do this
Why must you do this to yourself
You wake up at 6 o'clock every morning for no reason
You drink this green drink from a smoothie shop that you don't even like
You run for 3 hours every morning, but for what reason your already skin and bone
And you sit in that hot box of an office just to make a little money
You wear the appropriate clothes
Your the hardest worker there
And yet all you get is minimum wage
Why do you do this to yourself
Why act like everyone else
You've acted like everyone else for so long you've forgotten who you are
You sit behind that desk in an uncomfortable blouse
Drinking that disgusting kale smoothie
And nearly passing out from heat exhaustion
And for what reason
It doesn't matter what you do
You can weigh 10 lbs
But you will still be to heavy according to society
You can drink and eat nothing but kale salads and smoothies
But you will still be seen as a pig for eating
You can push yourself to the limit of exercise
And yet you will still be unhealthy and lazy
You can have the best shoes or hair or clothes
And you will still be a nobody
So stop trying
Be yourself and drink that strawberry and kiwi smoothie you've been eyeing
Sleep till 8:30
Instead of running go to a movie
Be your own person
You only get one life why waste it being unhappy
