'Skinny Feels'

   Always sad and never gleaming

Very quiet, my head is screaming

Never content with my body, ever

I wish I could lose weight with the pull of a lever 

Dreaming for perfection, need to be a 'Heather' 

Flawless, with grace, people wrapped around my finger

Too bad, all I think of, is delicious chicken fingers

I want to be remarkable with just a flick of a finger 

Dreaming of skinny, waiting for that flame to flicker 

Just give me some ipecac, it'd be a hell of a lot easier

I want to see ribs, and my spinal cord also 

My want for skinny isn't big, but colossal 

I try to be healthy, and I'm really succeeding 

It's just that this process, is not always speeding 

With tears in my eyes, I just want some compassion 

But, this compassion is lacking

Tell me I'm skinny, that will be the day 

This dream of being thin is not going my way 

I wish I lived by this motto, it would help me heal

Make me believe that being skinny is real

I just want to know if  "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"
