I stand in front of the mirror
a bone stares back at me.
But that's not what I see.
I see a fat girl.
A girl who's not good enough.
A girl without perfect skin.
People call me a stick.
But I feel bigger around then a tree.
These thoughts haunt me.
They wake me up at night .
Never good enough, a thought within my mind.
It didn't take long for me to start to waste away.
I grab the counter almost passing out.
I'm always tired and cold.
One day someone grabs my hand.

"Girl you are way to skinny!"

"You need to gain weight!"

They say.

Then one day, I stand in front of the mirror again.
I see!
I actually see what they see!
It frightens me.
I see my rids.
My door knob knees.
I feel even more insecure.
That's the day I start to eat again.
Slowly I don't feel worthless anymore.
I don't feel as tried or dizzy.
I even feel free.
So trust me when I say I understand, I do.
Girl go be beautiful you.
Sometimes we need someone to shake us on the shoulder, and wake us up.
I'm never going to be perfect.
And one day someone's gonna love me for me!
I found away to not look in the mirror and hate.
All that took was the love of a friend.
No matter what you're the perfect, you were meant to be!
Forget what society says to you or to me.
I learned because anorexic almost got the best of me!
But make this lesson easy for you, not the hard road I took.
We are all Gods people and we should all be loved the same!
Forget perfect, different is the best way to be!
So go on now you beautiful person and know you are worth more than superficial things!
Don't learn the hard way.
Life's gonna give and it's gonna take.
But in the end it's what you make of it!
Don't let it be a waste!
