Body Dysmorphic Disorder
The doctors tell me I need to stop
Slowly as my weight begins to drop
I must be perfect can’t you see
Please no cameras pointed at me
The thoughts consume my mind as I achieve my goal
Falling into this bottomless hole
The taunting voices fill my head
Ugly and fat is what they said
Crying in front of the mirror as I grab the skin
Screaming over and over “I just want to be thin”
Cover it up make it unknown
Scrolling through instagram only to see the perfect models as I throw my phone
Isolating myself I have no one at all
But I can’t let people see my flaws
No going in public I must hide
No friends... no Bonnie to my Clyde
No one by my side
