Face the Fear


What I wanted was a life normal to every other I fell victim to the mirror, the rest just makes me shutter I quit making friends, and made my body crumble Every meal was a war, magazines made me stumble I gradually got better, but my mind is still in pain I went on to college thinking everything would be okay I had no money to pay for school and because of that I hid away I made it one semester and had to go home because I couldn't pay Now I'm left to think about how to get back and it hurts everyday I've become jealous of my friends and their worry-free days I want an extraordinary life, I wouldn't have it another way Just need to get back on my feet and face the fear TODAY
