If I Weren’t

If I weren’t so fat, if I weren’t so ugly

If I weren’t so gross and if I weren’t so dumb

If I weren’t so spineless and boring and lazy

If I hadn’t spent my whole life going numb

If I weren’t so stupid, annoying and useless

If I weren’t so undeserving of joy

If I weren’t so utterly beyond redemption

If I weren’t the one thing you’d love to destroy

If I weren’t disgusting, if I weren’t repellent

If my face didn’t bring the bile to your throat

If I weren’t all things rotten then maybe you’d want me

But we all know I am so no wonder you don’t
