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

I am enjoying reading the very diverse poetry here this morning in my Soupland. Words pouring onto paper from poets souls. What a joy to be able to sit and read such wonderful poetry for awhile today. Have a very good day Courtnie. Love, Carol
