I wanna be less

by Naerwen   Mar 16, 2007


I wanna be thin and all bone,
with no fat to hold on
i wanna be light and set free,
with no flab to bind me
all this time i've tried so,
to be the best they've all known,

But who's the one weighed down,
By her own cellulite gown,
And's who's that crying now,
While silently purging her vow

How long has she to try,
Watch the months pass by,
And hope the guilt will go,
Cause these tears are getting old

Just wait and see she says,
Maybe one of these days,
Not too far away she prays,
That the numbers drop this way

i wanna be pretty and glee,
with no shame to blame me,
i wanna be good and clean,
with no bone gone unseen,
all this time i've been fed,
now i always see red

she'll never be they all said,
each day play rewind in her head,
that she will show them all,
she can balance and not fall

But who's never gonna be,
What they all want to see,
And who's the girl that stands,
Alone with bloody hands,

How long till she is the best,
Far surpassing the skinny rest,
Till then does she sit and wait,
Watching the slaters on an empty plate.
