Never Been Small Jennarie

I have never been small
I have never been thin
I’m almost 6 feet tall
So tall I stretched my skin

I’ve got scars from blue to red
Permanent
Dyed my hair to feel
Relevant
Bruises round my eyes
Delicate
Soft on the inside

I’ve got stories I could tell
Are you listening?
Years I was unwell
Crippling
Now I’ve built this shell
Distancing
Myself from the outside…

And I'm alive…
And I'm alive…

I have never been quiet
I have nеver been quaint
And I have failed at еvery diet
They’ll say it’s lack of self-restraint
