i went to the doctors the other day

water
water
water

i fasted all week
just to see what i weighed
without anything added

i removed my shoes
and took off my bracelet's
and stepped onto the scale
to find out i had lost

another
seven
pounds

i was ecstatic
overjoyed
proud

but then when i looked in the mirror when i got home
that joy was lost
even though i had lost seven
i still have many to go

im fat
im ugly
im not pretty

why should i eat
pretty girls don't eat food
they drink water

so i skip another meal
i look forward to school for skipping lunch

water
water
water

feeling ugly on metabolism days
not being able to pass a mirror without looking at myself

is this me?

my stomach is too big
my collarbones don't show enough
my thighs are huge
my double chin shows

i need to lose more
