Letter To Young Girls-Body Image
look in the mirror
see that terror
you call “me”
listen to the radio, turn on the tv
see that skinny aneroxic girl
and now your screaming that should be me
body image warped
thoughts controlled
your body might as well go into
system overload
swallow your pride
accept all the lies
that being a size 0
will make you into a hero
now you feel like a zero
you look a little weak
cant even pick up your feet
society is the parent
depriving you of life
sucking you out slowly
until there is no way to survive
I wish you would come back
And see the real you
And to just know babes your beautiful
