Beauty Is Pain
I eat less and less
until the hunger pain keep me from getting out of bed
And my stomach feels like it's eating itself
But I can bear it
Anything to get me to the perfect body
right?
I mean that's what society wants
Skinny girls model thin
That's what my parents want
Right?
A daughter that get guys
One that's beauty can turn heads
So maybe the suffering is worth it
I will lose the 50 pounds that they want me to lose
I will be what they want me to be
For now, I must suffer the pain
To become beautiful
