That’s What I See (Fat)

I look in the mirror and what else do I see,
But the fat, disgusting, ignorant me.
I stand there and stare,
With feelings of despair,
Nearly tearing out all of my hair.

How could I let myself get this big?
I’m like a big fat ugly pig.
The layers of fat that I am surrounded by,
Really make me want to cry.

I hate how I am, I can never be free
Why has this all had to happen to me?
I used to love food, what happened to that?
I guess the only answer to that is FAT

I go to the gym; I do all that I can,
But why wont this fat just go down the pan?!
The shadows of gloom always surrounding me
Shouting and screaming of the fat that I see
I try to hide away, afraid what people might say
What is the price that I have to pay?

This life is so lonely
This life is so sad
This life is so gloomy, worthless and bad

Why am I destined to live with this pain
Its like my life has gone down the drain
Why cant people just let me be
Then I wont have all this fat to see
