Never Being Seen
Size small
Pretty face
She walks along
Always being looked at,
Never being seen
Backstabbed by others’ jealousy
Wanted by men for her body
She walks along
Always being looked at,
Never being seen
Never being allowed to speak
Never allowed to complain
She walks along
Always being looked at,
Never being seen
Her real story is just beneath that fair skin
Being thin not really a blessing like all perceive,
She loses weight too quickly no matter how much she eats
Yet everyone around her tells her to stop complaining
This girl just wants everyone to see
The parallel problem that exists to the obesity epidemic
She cannot control losing the weight
Just like those who cannot control gaining it
Yet she is still asked whether she eats or not
That is the problem, she cannot fix
She walks along
Always being looked at,
Never being seen
