Loving Yourself First

I hate looking in the mirror
When all I ever see
Is a fat, ugly, teenage girl
Staring back at me

Those girls they don`t help any
Laughing all the time
Their so beautiful and skinny
How is being fat a crime?

Suddenly I don`t eat as much
My friends began to wonder
They ask me if things are OK
And why I don`t eat supper

I say everything is fine
It`s probably just the flu
This whole thing will pass
In just a day or two

Finally a month or two pass
And I`m losing lots of sleep
My stomach starts to rumble
Because I need to eat

My mother starts to worry
Just as did my friends
She then calls the doctor
As I`m hoping this isn`t the end

When we get to the hospital
They hook me up to machines
As I hear my mother cry
I just want to scream

How could I do this to myself?
Letting those girls get to me
I shouldn`t care what they think
My friends still think I`m pretty

Finally a month passes
The doctors said I`ll be fine
I was suffering from bulemia
And that I could of died

But now I began to smile
As I look into the mirror
I love myself again
And I need not shed a tear

The first step is loving yourself
That`s what you need to do
But now ask yourself this question
Do you love yourself too?
