i wish i was pretty

so i could talk to a man

without feeling like

he wishes i was tan

or thinner

or shorter

or didn't play bass

well i'm quitting now

will you fit in that space?

why do men built from heaven

and carved out of stars

be unable to love

someone so large

of love and affection

chalant, patience, grace

cuz i won't quiet down

settle down, have less haste

i'm not one to talk

i'm the one begging here

so i apologize

sure, i'll be a dear
