Am I wasting my time? You are a fool. You hide. You’re set on matter over mind And I can only help you to help yourself You are starving yourself And I can’t always be there to force it down your throat. Do I have to scream in your face? Restrain your body with chains? I can’t do this alone You laugh silently on the phone How do I know You’re not just being sarcastic? You are a winner at this game I assure you however, I am a contender And I can keep the beast tame I am not a slave I will not stand for this much longer Open your eyes and see that I am human I can make you stronger I won’t let your habits defeat me You’re the type of person That would sit on a stranger’s lap In my presence Just to make me jealous To see if I’m your lapdog However, I am not, and will repeat your actions. Doing the same to you You are pretty and no one will say you are not So why do you starve yourself As if you want to die? Baby don’t cry I’ll buy you a mockingbird, And If that mockingbird don’t sing, I’ll sing for you.
