Pretty

Dear you I see in the mirror every morning
Your proportions are all wrong
Where did you go they ask
Where are you in that mirror

I cannot recognize the person standing there 
So bare and bruised with words that have abused 

They're eating you alive 
But eating is your crime 
Don't gain a pound 
Don't make a sound

Skinny girl you're nowhere to found

I'm sure many of us could relate to this poem! So cleverly written, and hits home. Nicely done!
