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.
