Tabitha May wanted to fit in
So she took off her glasses and bought contacts
But still the others didn't like her
So she powdered her cheeks and painted her lips
But still the others didn't like her
So she stopped eating to lose the fat she lacked
But still the others didn't like her
So she took drugs that made her see pretty lights and hear funny sounds
But still the others didn't like her
So she slept with a boy she didn't even like
But still the others didn't like her
So she replaced her eyes with stars
And then the others liked her
