She doesn't like what she sees in the mirror anymore

She spends hours in the morning, dressing in front of her drawer

Trying to find something that makes her look better

She hides her body with a simple sweater

Trying to meet society's high expectations

Hoping she follows all their harsh regulations

She longs to have the freedom she once had

She doesn't want to follow each trendy fad

But she's afraid of them and their nasty thoughts

Their judging stares makes her stomach twist into knots

She wants to fit in, wishes she could be skinny

Wishes her waist was tiny and mini

She's so hungry, yet she doesn't eat

Just pushes her food around with her fork, and shifts in her seat

She's been starving herself for days

Hoping the pounds will drop in a haze

She weighs herself each night before she goes to bed

Inside she feels so dead

She so badly envies the other girls

Her jealousy drags her downo, twisting inside her like swirls

She hates herself now

Losing hope and skipping the chow

"Lose weight" they say

Cut down on food and excersise, you can change the amount you weigh

It's not as easy as that

They don't know about her constant struggle with her and her fat
