I seek perfection
I can't be perfect
Starving myself
Is it really worth it?

Nobody wants a chubby girl
It's all swimsuit models in bikinis
But if I can't feel good in my own skin
Don't I have the right to change it?

It's frowned upon to be anorexic
People just expect you to magically get thin
But all my life I haven't thought twice
Where does weight begin?

I slowly miss meals one by one
Until I eat barely at all
Yet my stomachs not flat
My thighs are still fat

So I guess I won't eat at all
