A Thin Society

A little girl almost a teenager, That was me you see. Living in a thin society, looking in the mirror and all I see, is pounds and pounds shedded on me. This thin society was my very essence, the only control I had of myself was not to eat. The struggle to be thin and look like a supermodel, instead of being myself. I was trying to be someone I wasn't. Years went by till my bones were fragle, wearing baggy clothes so no one would know. No eating for me, just wanting so desperately to be thin. A thin society isn't what we need, being free from the stigma is exactly what a little girl like me needs.
