Thin is Pretty?

by ibelievedhim   Aug 15, 2009


Today I learned what it is to cry
To look in the mirror and tell a lie
Smiling at myself and pretending it's ok
While I skip meals and waste away

Mom looks at me with disgust and despair
Before I got thin, I wasn't even there
Funny how as I grow weak
I don't need my voice to speak

The scale reads I'm 94
93, 92 how much more?
I don't care how thin I get
As long as my goal is met

My goal is not truly to get thin
There is only one way I can ever win
Maybe if I get thin, I'll look pretty
Then Mom and Dad will like me

    This was such a sad poem. I can really relate to hurting yourself to please another person. I agree with the people above that you are beautiful no matter what. It's your heart and soul that counts hun not your body. I'm here for you if you ever need someone to talk to. This was a realy well written poem, keep it up. Nik :) *hugs*

    It was beautiful and I understand your pain [perfectly. And no, this will never be pretty. My friends had to convince me of that before I let myself go. I'm sure (even though I don'
    t know you and this might seem creepy) you are beautiful
