Walking around in this world
is like being 5 wearing my father's suit
Yea it looks cute
but we all know that it doesn't fit
I keep asking
"where's the substance?"
Every trend since millennial gray
has been tone after tone of everything beige
I just want to see every hue
like Dharma and Greg used to do.
I don't want to just eat almonds
so there's a gap in my thighs
They're screaming body positivity
but Ozempic use is on the rise
all these warriors with swords
behind their keyboards
all trumped up,
bet they wouldn't be
if you' handed them a mirror.
and it's "ok" if you don't names for the faces
as long as you've been to all of the places
and get to click "check in"
get a good pic for the Gram
It's all superficial
fueled by influencials
just look, think, feel the same
polyfil people
with fluff for their brains
