Keep on flicking through your magazine,
Darling girl, get the hair, get the look, get the friends.

Spend two hours, in the shower, your curly hair
tamed into sleek locks, tainted with henna
shampoo, to be just a bit more blonde.


Thats what is in, thats whats hot.
You're whats not.

Keep on flicking through your magazine,
Darling girl, examine yourself in your trusty
mirror of deception, are you thin enough?
are you tall enough?
Are you not you enough?

Eat that burger, eat those chips,
come home and rip off your clothes,
crouch over that toilet bowl
and bring it back.
Just to lose those extra pounds,
you've just gotta be XXS.


Or what will they think? Will they know,
how hard you try,
just to fit in,
with whats hot, when you're whats not.

Keep on flicking through your magazine,
Darling girl, do you have those lucious lips?
Those long eyelashes?
Those bright blue eyes? If not, why not?

Throw your money away, on tinting your lashes to that perfect black,
but then you cringe as you stick those coloured contacts in,
hiding your muddy brown eyes.

Cry your heart out.
Scream your lungs out.
Die inside,
just so long as you
Are whats hot,
but inside,
You're whats not.

Keep on flicking through your magazine,
Darling girl, you're a modern day
Role Model.

Oh Kurst. This made me sick. What a pathetic world we live in. I want to cry. Beauty comes from within. So I guess I'm saying, live inside yourself. Withdrawn. Now it doesn't seem like such good advice. So sad though. Guess what? From cocopops I got a pendometer or whatever and it counts how many steps you take. Since 6:30 (it's 8:00 now), minus the time on the comp, I've taken 513 steps. I liv e this thing!

Sad poem.
Imagery and wordings top!

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. - Gary Jules, Mad World.

It is a sad world, and this poem describes it perfectly, well done!

Ouch, for a girl who is recovering from an eating disorder, this is enough to bring tears to the eyes.  Why can't it just be fixed?

The sad part of this is: some girls are like this. :-\
Great write, really get's your brain thinking.

hey..I just thought of the perfect example of a girl like the one in my poem. basically think "Angela Hayes" from "American Beauty".
