Accepting
Hate never silenced her words..
And compliments never brought about change...
All she ever did was binge and purge..
But her mind remained tainted and strange...
Different from the others..
Yes, it's what she had planned..
That reaching out attempts were smothered...
So she could not make a stand..
She will make her perfect
Or so she taught her to believe
That calories and a flat stomach
Would make her worth something
Diet pills here... laxatives taken there....
And soon a stomach grumbling meant cheering.. Happiness
200 calories was the limit, any more she would not dare
For fear that her peers would be watching and snickering
Her parents worried. her aunts and uncles cried
But nothing could stop her, not even herself if she tried
She was ready to be skinny.. To be accepts..not care if she died
For no one could ever understand how she could be helped
It wasn't until a long time after
When she realized who the enemy truly was
And fought for her happiness and laughter
The girl who was thought to be lost..
In the end, she made it and stopped listening
To the negative, evil side
And finally started living
No longer afraid and no longer cried
And finally became free ..happy and never terrified
From the ones who thought won
