Silly girl she says as she spies her waist in the mirror

Why oh why silly girl did you eat last nights dinner

Why do you try to become what your not

You're ugly, selfish, and flawed to the core

Why do you try, when you are nothing more

So she stares at the mirror, at the person she sees

Skip dinner tonight and I'll be alright she says through clenched teeth

So she lies to her parents and says she feels ill

They don't suspect of course because they lack the ability to feel

But she feels the pain

The emptiness bubbling in her stomach

Skinny is pretty

Fat is bad

Skinny is my goal

Fat is me now

She chants to herself

Tomorrow isn't much better she skips breakfast and lunch

She stares at her stomach and still feels plump

She doesn't know that she's killing what health she has left

By starving and weighing and shedding the pounds

Skinny is pretty

Fat is bad

Skinny is my goal

Fat is me now

She repeats the starving and becomes even more obsessed with her size

Taking a bite of her super and then going to bed

As she looks towards the mirror and hates what she sees

What she sees is far more different than the reality

In reality she's dying

Weighing less each day

Growing more and more fragile

And more and more frayed

What's left is a girl if you'd call her that

Skin and Bones is her figure and Skin and Bones is all she has left
