Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Tell me why can't I be small?
Do I cut the alcohol or do stop eating once and for all?
I want a cookie,
I want a cake,
Tell me, is it right when I skip meals and shake?
I want to be tall, pretty, and thin.
Don't tell me that what i'm doing is a deadly sin.
Today, the meal I skip, will tomorrow make me thin.
I know this isn't right, but I don't want to take another bite.
I don't want an appetite, I want to be light.
Now don't blame this on me, blame it on what it is on this mirror that i see.
What this society thinks is Beauty,
Is also cruelty.
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Why do I feel like this?
So dizzy and fatigue.
I do not care what people believe,
For me, this is a succeed.
Another day, meaning I skip another plate.
Look at me are you happy now with what you see?
Pound by pound, I'm making myself proud.
Hey society, do I fit in now?
I will somehow.
My weight is dropping on this scale,
Look I lost 5, 10, 15 pounds.
I want to feel pretty,
There goes more, 20, 25, 30 pounds!
I spend more time sitting by the toilet on the bathroom floor.
When will the day come when someone finds me fainted on the bathroom floor when they open the door?
How long is this going to last for?
40,45,50 pounds more.
Look at me, I'm desperate for more.
I throw up nothing else now but blood.
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
I'm cold and alone in this hospital.
This went nothing as planned, this is all ironical.
As I wait on my bed, the doctors come in,
They told me I have an eating disorder,
Oh my god, I never meant to cause such damage and torture.
This was not my intention,
This fault is all stupid mirrors reflection.
Hey society, is this what you call perfection?
Such aggression, causing disorders and depression?
If it is, I guess I can now call myself beautiful and precious.
