Pictures she fakes
She updated her picture on Facebook today
Smilling by flowers, nothing to get in her way
On seeing the picture I just couldn't hate
The person she is, though she's made me this way
I noticed that she had put on weight
I'm skinner then her now a fact she will hate!
She's always been superficial about looks
Its clear to see she is not as happy as the picture she took
It made me smile that I look better than her now
A small victory for me though it may seem soar
Iv lots 8 stone through illness alone
My struggles to her I have made known
I contacted her when I was admitted to hospital
But she only cared it was my husband who told her
She contacted me to ask which number I'm on
That's all she asked, there was no contact no more
That was last September, she's hasn't called to check
If I'm better now and if the illness is in check
I guess I should not be surprised
This is a women who belives all her lies
I feel so rotten critiquing her weight
But she told me being skinny was the only way
Being overweight was never right in her eyes
My weight disgusted her through all my life
But as I say im nearly "skinny" now
If she still loved me she would be "proud"
I fit in now what with what she sees as beauty
But her personality always made me feel ugly
I don't ever see looks in people
The inside is the only thing that makes people real
But with her its the inside that makes,
Her outside ugly no matter the amounts of pictures she fakes
Iv got one thing going for me, of that I'm happy
Both of my parents are not what they would call "ugly"
A full of head of hair in their late 50's
The only genes I'm happy they gave me
When I see her smile I know that she hides
The darkness she has buried inside
Through all my life I believed she was right
But this small victory will help me sleep tonight
Today im glad I look exactly like him
My face doesnt harbour or hide any darkness within
It always pained her I was his "twin"
Maybe thats why she always made me hate my skin
It doesn't matter if your fat or thin
Its the beauty that matters that you find within
A supefical victory today I did win
My weight or my looks were never a sin!!!
