Thin, Pretty, and Tall

"That girl is so skinny",

"Her waist is so small".

Why can't I be perfect-

thin, pretty, and tall?

My stomach rolls over,

My legs jiggle as I walk.

All I want is a thigh gap,

and abs like a rock.

I'll skip eating for a day,

maybe I'll lose weight.

My body will look flawless,

healthy, and great.

It's been a month now.

I've lost ten pounds.

My body feels different.

My head's spinning around.

I'm starting to feel sick,

My body is sore.

I know this is bad,

but I want to lose more.

"You look like a skeleton"

"Why do you look like that?"

I get asked all of these questions,

but still feel very fat.

I really need help

getting out of this mess.

Why should I care if I fit

in a size zero dress?

Our bodies are unique,

they are one of a kind.

You should love yours,

and I should love mine.

Why treat yourself poorly?

Want a cookie? Eat them all.

It's crazy what we will do to be

thin, pretty, and tall.
