I used to love my body
I’d be naked and free
I’d be at a party
Take off my clothes just to see 

Now I’ve gained some weight
And I feel more shut
I look at myself and hate
This body I’ve got, this big ol gut

And I do believe you’re beautiful
As you are, Inside and out
But I can’t quite find the lever to pull
To extend that to myself

I wanna be body positive 
And that’s what’s in my brain
But since I’m not at peace with myself
I’m filled with disdain

I find myself seeing bodies I want
I don’t like it at all
I wanna feel free again
To forgive myself for my anxiety ball

And I do believe you’re beautiful
As you are, Inside and out
But I can’t quite find the lever to pull
To extend that to myself


Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 9+ years.

Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.

You can see my most current song, as well as songs from year's past over at http://songaday.org
