I eat a lot of food, so what?
I drink a lot of pop, who cares?
I'll eat stew right out the pot.
I'm asleep all day like the bears.
I was confident and strong,
I thought I was attractive.
Turns out I was incredibly wrong.
Turns out I shouldn't live.
I should die in a hole,
go to Africa and vomit.
Live my life like a mole,
throwing up would make me "fit."
All of that and more according to you.
According to you I should become a man.
I also am also a ladyboy too.
With your support I actually am.
Do you even hear yourself?
Do you even know the pain
you cause with your stealth?
My confidence is beginning to wane.
I don't look in the mirror anymore.
I think I am so selfish.
I hate myself and every single pore,
I can't eat a single dish.
I am stronger now,
one year on and I'm fixed.
I'm no longer a cow.
Even though my feelings are mixed
I can't help but thank you,
thank you my enemy.
Even though you've got no clue,
you have set me free.
