Lyrics:
It is quiet. And I am adaptable. I am doing this for me. And... And...
AND I AM NOT GONNA CRY TODAY!
CUZ WHEN YOU’RE
FULLY-FORMED AND PERFECTLY SELF-REALIZED
THE WAY YOU FEEL IS UNDER YOUR CONTROL
YOU SET A COURSE AND LIFE MAY TEST IT
NO SWEAT, JUST MANIFEST IT
BE YOUR BEST IN BODY, MIND, AND SOUL

CUZ WHEN YOU’RE FULLY FORMED AND PERFECTLY SELF REALIZED
YOU FOCUS ON THE WORK AND NOT ON... HIM
YOUR HEART WILL HEAL ITSELF IN DUE TIME
YOU’VE BOOKED 4 DAYS OF “YOU TIME”
TO FILL THAT EMPTY PAGE
AND MAYBE EVEN MAKE IT TO THE GYM!
BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE FULLY-FORMED,
YOUR PROSPECTS WON’T LOOK--

I MUST ARTICULATE HOW LOVE HAS BEEN IDEALIZED
FIND A VOICE I RECOGNIZE AGAIN
IF IT’S NOT RAW AND REAL, THEN STRIKE IT
BE BOLD AND MAKE THEM LIKE IT
GUARANTEED SUCCESS
UNLESS I SCREW IT UP AND THEN...
AND THEN... AND THEN, OH GOD WHAT THEN?!
NO! I’LL BE FULLY FORMED
AND PERFECT JUST LIKE...

EMILY WINTERS
EMILY WINTERS
3-TIME KNOBBLER PRIZE
ESSAYIST OF THE YEAR
EMILY WINTERS
FEMINIST PERFECTION
GRACE THESE WORDS WITH WIT AND FLAIR
THEN ORDER UP MY OFFICE CHAIR
THE NEW VOICE YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR IS HERE!
I’M FINALLY HERE!

CUZ WHEN I’M FULLY FORMED AND PERFECTLY SELF-REALIZED
MY SKIN WILL GLOW, MY TEAR DUCTS WILL BE DRY
A BETTER ME WILL BE AWOKEN
AND SHE WILL NOT BE BROKEN!
THE BAR IS LOW, MY HOPES ARE HIGH
CUZ WHEN I’M FULLY-FORMED
I’M CERTAIN I’LL BE
LESS INCLINED
TO WANT
TO DIE!
