Karaoké Never Been Small Jennarie

I have never been small

I have never been thin

I'm almost six 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 listenin'

Years I was unwell

Cripplin'

Now I've built this shell

Distancin' myself from the outside

And I'm alive

Hmm

And I'm alive

Hmm

I have never been quiet

I have never been quaint

And I have failed at every diet

They'll say it's lack of self-restraint

I've got stories I could tell

Are you listenin'

Wounds that flair and swell

Conditionin'

Vices that rebel

Imprisonin' myself from the outside

And I'm alive

Hmm

And I'm alive

Hmm

And I'm alive

Hmm

And I'm alive

And I'm grateful for it

I will always be loud

I have always been free

No matter what I will be proud and I will always be me
