skinny

I thought that when I was skinny

all my problems would be solved

I thought that when I was skinny

you would love me

I thought when I was skinny

I would love myself

I thought when I was skinny

I would be happy

I thought that when I was skinny

I could walk down the street with confidence

I didn’t think that being skinny,

would make me hate myself even more

I didn’t think that being skinny

would make me so upset

I thought that being skinny

would make me happy
