they thought I was a medium
/
i don’t know why it hurts so bad
i’ve always been an x-small
after last year
it went up to a small
i’ve been fighting it ever since
i’m tired of wrestling with my shirts
tired of being afraid of the mirror
/
why does a name mean so much
they could’ve decided
a medium is a small
why do we put so much value
on sizes and names and labels
/
why do i want to be an x-small again
no one sees
and yet they do
