All I Can Do
I thought
If I gained weight
You'd finally be happy
The only problem is
My body was not
My back had a boulder to carry on its shoulders
Each day now
And in the end
I wasn't strong enough
I let it crush me
And you stood and watched
As I hurled down the hill
I couldn't stand after that
People told me I couldn't walk
Nor run as I used to
I loved running
It was one of the only ways to escape
The thoughts while I'm trapped
Ones you planted in my name
Just make me break again
Cause that's all I can do
Tears splattering my phone
Even as I write this
Knowing nothing's ever foolproof
So I tell myself
Like you told me to
I tell myself
I'm a broken record
Who's already
Lost everything
There is to lose
So forget me
In the way
I wish to forget you
And in the end free me
From the thought if I gained weight
You'd love me
Like you're supposed to
