Why Can't You Accept Me? (NOT WRITTEN BY ME)

If I'm not too fat,
Then I must be too thin
I know that I
Will never fit in

I'm too plain,
Or I'm too pretty
Though those days
Comeall toorarely

Am I not good enough for you?
Do you wish I was different?
Should I be someone else,
Someone other than myself?

I'll never be you, mother
Not who you are or once were
So just let it go, mother,
Let's go back to before

Back when all you cared about
Was if I was really happy
Let's go back to those days
Back before my misery

You make fun of my now
And you point out that I've gained weight
Yeah, just what every girl wants to hear.
Thanks for making me feel so great.

And is makeup really so essential,
Just because I'm a girl?
It is okay to go without, y'know.
It's not the end of the world.

Most moms would be overyjoyed
That their daughters were happy with themselves
Why can't you just accept me for me?
You can't make me someone else.

I am my own person
Why can't you grasp that fact?
Just accept it and move on
So that I can drop this act

Maybe I wouldn't be so ugly
If I wasn't so damn miserable
Maybe if you could let me be happy
I wouldn't be so pitiful
I am myself,
Not my friends, and not you
Live it, love it, never forget it,
Because with this fight, I'm through.
