A little rant of things I want to say and feel shame about.
It's not fair
Nothing's really fair
But I feel
Fate's given me a worse hand than most
At this metaphorical game of life
I have no cards left and have been lying for so long

It's really just not fair
Why can't I be me?
It's really just not fair
I should be healthy, happy

And I shouldn't feel ashamed to admit this hate I feel

I want to be strong
I want to be pretty
I want to be normal
I want my friends to be my friends
I want my life to not screw me round
Is that so much too ask for?

It's really just not fair
Why can't I just be me?
It's really just not fair
I should be healthy, happy

And I shouldn't feel ashamed to admit it

Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning
Under the pressure I know so well
There's no-one ready to save me
No hands to catch me
No air to breathe
Just my futile hopes and dreams

It's absolutely unfair
The same for everyone
But I don't think I should feel less cheated
It's my screwed up life

And this is who I am
