My dinner plate is cleared

I walk upstairs and head into the bathroom

I strip to my pink bra

And underwear that matches

Looking at myself in the mirror

The girl staring back at me

Looks healthy on the outide

Pink cheeks

Shiny hair

Bright eyes

But the voices aren't happy

Or healthy

Take a closer look at yourself

See that flaw

                                               Of course I do, I see them all

Your stomach is too big

Thighs touch

Ribs don't show

Arms too fat

UGLY

I pinch the skin from my limbs

                                                 Maybe it is too much

                                                 Too much fat..

That's right

Nobody will love you

If you're fat

Trust me

I turn on the hot water

And wait before it fogs up the mirror

Before taking off my underwear

And climbing in the shower

To wash the day away
