Fat Girl Ugly

When I look in the mirror

Who is it I see?

Fat girl ugly

Is she really me?

I walk with my head down

My eyes on my toes

Fat girl ugly

Right under my nose

Cruel and crass

Words thrown in my face

Fat girl ugly

All over the place

Thing is - those words

Don't come from without

Fat girl ugly

Is my own self-doubt

Am I fat? Am I ugly?

Am I prone to disgrace?

Is it only my body

Or all over my face?

I know I'm not perfect

But why can't I see

Fat girl ugly

Just let me be

So this is the new me

Not full of shame

Fat girl ugly

I'm changing your name

I'll hold my head high

As I shout it out loud

Brave girl beautiful

Strong and proud
