You can look up to all the others
They all look the same
Blonde hair blue eyes
Skinny that’s not a surprise
They are all “perfect”
Everyone wishes they were that
Sometimes these wishes go to more than just thoughts
Sometimes people go to extreme measures
They get lost in their wants
Their wants of perfection
And that is what they plot
To be like all the rest
Tight jeans tight shirt
So they carry through
Making their plans come true
Stepping on the scale time after time
Losing pound after pound
They lose the weight
That they do
Things that used to matter
Don’t matter anymore
Thinness is all they care about that is for sure
Caught up in the tide of things they need to accomplish
Don’t look at the things they are destroying
Though they may be famished, they still don’t eat
Exercising and not eating is all they need
Some get help
Some do not
And when there is not
Anything you can do
You turn to nothing
Cause nothing is there to help
So when thinness takes over your life
Get help
Don’t live your life with nothing but want
Want for something that could stop you right in your spot.
