The balance has shifted again
I’m heavier than I was yesterday
It’s still just me, like always
But now I need someone else
There is no one

It’s vanity at its worst
But I believe my thoughts wholeheartedly
If I stepped outside
Into the glaring lights of their eyes
They would know
And they would see that I am only worth what I look like

I believe this to be true
It doesn’t truly matter what they believe
But in my mind that is the only thing that matters
I place the weight of my self-loathing on their shoulders
