Size Two


She's starving to be a size two

To be viewed as perfect in this day's society

She's striving to be a size two

With a little waist

And a big gap between her thighs

She's not happy in her own skin

She looks in the mirror and no matter what

She isn't pleased with what she sees

She's striving to be a size two

To make her boyfriend happy

So maybe he might think that she is

Beautiful and finally post her on his instagram

Every Wednesday and show her love

She's striving to be a size two

So she can fit in that dress she wants

For senior prom

Shes striving to be a size two

To be flawless, perfect in a world that

Is filled with impurities but we mask them up

So we can feel like we're important

When we're just waddling in our own misery

She's striving to be a size two

So maybe, just maybe

He won't cheat on her anymore

And maybe he'll take her out and show her off

She's striving to be a size two because no matter what her mother tells her

She still feels so ugly on the inside

She's striving to be a size two because

That's all the world has taught her.
