The Urge

The urge takes over me,
i cant stay strong anymore,
i run to the bathroom,
making myself give up,
every calorie and carb,
the walls are covered with,
prettier and skinnier girls,
i wish everyday,
that i could look like them,
id give anthing to be the girl,
the guys want,
who gets looked at,
and told your beautiful,
insted im the one in the background,
never noticed unless im gettin made fun of,
i cant be strong anymore,
the urge,
the need contols me,
i cant fight it,
it consumes me.

thank you for your comment, I hope you don't take offense to my spell checking. Sometimes when you submit poetry one of the rules I see quite often is spelling then grammar.
