When I started
I was 115 pounds
At only eleven
I was embarrassed at my weight
Because everyone was so much skinnier than me
They weighed 80 pounds much more than me
I didn't know at the start what I was doing
But by I turned 12
I was 110 pounds
I was happier
But than anorexia
Really kicked in
She told me to lose more
That I was still heavier
Than those other girls
She told me models are beautiful
And made me long to be like them
Skinny and pretty
Twelve was a big change
I started learning the calories off by heart
And exercising way more
Because of that
By my thirteen birthday
I was 99 pounds
Then I kept going
Thinner and thinner
Surpasing personal goals
95
90
80
The weeks passed
The months passed
Skinnier and skinnier
I was 70
When I was admitted
To the sterile place
With doctors and nurses
Who try and help
But they never can
When I was released
I had gained 15 kilograms
In the month
Disappointed
I felt fat and ugly once again
Even though those other girls
Were now heavier than me
But healthier
Too
Today I'm eighty
And on my way
Back to perfection
Speeding down the highway
To beautifulness
And acceptance of myself
Sometime
I'll be the skinniest girl
Of all
