Runway

We grew up in times when Lean bodies had all the guys Picture perfect bodies that were light The perfect definition of a barbie doll That's why people envied models Cause the screens made them popular And now having a few extra pounds was an eyesore Everyone wanted to be noticed But we didn't know how life for them was Having to keep to a certain diet To have to do away with some foods For it's not easy getting that lean body Others never has to hustle for it For they came in lean bodies That however much they'll eat The few extra pounds won't be gained And this caused obsession to the rest Which turned into hate of the mirror Making some to opt to wear more clothes Just to appear slightly bigger Many started starving themselves And even though it would pay off It came at an expensive pay Losing their health as it was eating away I guess everyone wants to look good But the extents to which we go Shows how nothing stops us in the pursuit But at what cost exactly ??
