Little by little the weight is lost
Skinnier is prettier
No more food, but more water
Finger down your throat
95
See your spine
See your ribs
Look at your knees, at least there's a thigh gap
90
Not healthy, haven't been for a while
The doctors look at you and ask why
Don't answer, don't take the pills
85
Not able to run
Barely enough energy to stand
But society says skinny is better
And stick thin must be gorgeous
Until you waste away
80
No longer able to eat, body can't take it
A little water, a lot of pain
And now you are pretty.
