Wasted Away
Magazines and photo clips
Stringy arms and collar bones
Thigh gaps and a flat stomach
Trigger.
Skipped meals and laxatives
Diet pills and exercises
All to look lovely for people
Who are pretty on the outside and ugly on the inside
Now her hair's falling out
Her teeth are rotting from all the vomitting
Her bones ache
She's falling apart
All because she wanted
To be as lovely as the model
In the fashion magazine
She's wasting away...
