Diet Culture

My smaller friend is bloated and has to announce it
 My mother-in-law needs shape-wear so her bits fit right
 Someone I just met, jokes that they forget
 To eat until it's the middle of the night
 And I know their worst fear is to look like me
 And that fact makes me want to kill somebody
 I'm eating at the counter, and you're talking about your weight
 I usually don't hate you, but today I'm enraged
 ♪
 You look at me with pity, just know I do the same to you
 What a sad life you live, afraid to gain a pound or two
 I know that feeling well, and I can always tell
 When someone is controlled by their food
 And I know their worst fear is to look like me
 And that fact makes me want to kill somebody
 I'm eating at the counter, and you're talking about your weight
 I usually don't hate you, but today I'm enraged
 And I know at this point that everybody hates themselves and hates their bodies
 But I've put in the work, yeah, I've done my time
 I'm taking up the space that is rightfully mine
 There's nothing wrong with my body
 "Fat" is not a dirty word
 If my body tells me something
 I will make sure it is heard
 If my body is a vessel
 I will give it what it needs
 I will not betray my body
 No matter what they think of me
