You Call Me Anorexic

You call me anorexic

Yet you call her fat

YOU CALL ME ANOREXIC

A disease that can be triggered by calling her fat

You call me anorexic

You say real women have curves

You say take these diet pills

You say love yourself...

But how can I when

You call me anorexic

Misconception an illusion creating confusion

The second I become a number

The second you call me anorexic

The second you call her fat

You call me anorexic

The scale becomes an enemy

Food becomes a tool

Not to fuel us NO

But to make us fit your ideal imagery

You tell us to hate the reflection the mirror

BUT NOT YOU NEVER YOU

Yet YOU call ME anorexic

But you call her fat
