Now Change from 13 by Danger Painters

Now Change

I’m under 13
And I don’t know what I want
Sometimes I’m all fruit roll-ups
Sometimes Taylor in the dark

I’m spoken of
Not spoken to
Staring in stunned silence
Sharing silence
Shared action

I stand here like a misdemeanor
So relatively small
But I really mean it
Don’t try to fix it
I’m 2 x 6 it
Or 2 x 5½
Don’t laugh

When you’re a big girl
Everyone’s a speck
You take up all the room
You gasp up all the oxygen
And act like you don’t care
It’s only air

Where’s all the too skinny girls
Skinny as all heck
Who get mistaken for canes and chairs
Looking like a spare
After the ball
After all

I dislike uncertainty
Cuz I’m sure I won’t like it
Yet I’m sparkin’
On urgency
Now change
Now change

I’m under 13
But I don’t know what I want
Sometimes I’m all hot pockets
Sometimes it’s mommy in the dark
C’mon change
