I'm having a bad day. I am not size six.
My legs are not skinny as sticks,
and dammit, someone's got to pay.
I'm afraid that I can't satisfy myself
and that my happiness depends on someone else.
I feel weak, so you're gonna take the fall.
You're so shallow.

which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.
