Blood Stains and Caviar
Sipping cold water on an empty stomach
They told you, you be pretty if you starved yourself
Bones becoming as fragile as glass
Skin turning the color of a porcelain doll
She'll will never forget how water tastes on an empty stomach.
If you develop an eating disorder when you are already bone thin to begin with, you go to the hospital
If you develop an eating disorder when you aren't so thin to begin with, you are a success story.
It's a sad story as you watch the people of this world slowing killing themselves
Because of the voices they hear.
To the young girl, who tried on a pretty dress in a store
And the store clerk says that dress would better on you if you lost weight.
You are so beautiful, and that dress looked as gorgeous on you.
To the young girl, who has the words anorexic carved into her skin by the sharp tongues of friends.
You are beautiful, and you will find people who truly care and will treat you right.
To the young boy, who was told that boys can't have eating disorders.
You are amazing and you matter too much to listen to them.
To the young, who cry over the scale, because the numbers weren't right.
Those numbers do not define your worth. They are just stupid numbers.
To the young, who are crying over the toliet. Please get up, you are gorgeous. And you need to straighten your crown my friend.
