What?!
Where's no way I weigh that much!

I step off the scale in slight shock
As those three numbers flash across my eyes,
Etching themselves into the quickly crumbling walls of my self-esteem.

What?

It keeps ringing over and over in my head,
Playing like a skipping track on a cd.
I see my own eyes fill with disgust
As I look in the mirror at my reflection
As the numbers in my head start to fall on my body,
And all I can see is ugly.

Me.
Ugly.
Me.
Ugly.

I leave the room with tears
Pricking the corner of my eyes
And slowly falling down my cheeks.
I brush them away so no one can see.

Ugly.

Me.
