Waiting for the Perfect Weight
November 13, 2014
Oh how she longed to be thin,
People wanting her to be perfect,
Waiting for her work to take effect,
She thought eating was a sin,
All the emotional distress you put her in,
Her weight made her a social reject,
Her mind began to deflect-
And she thought she could win.
If only she could gain some weight,
Her outer beauty would show,
Why can’t she have curves?
She seems really great,
But her self-confidence is low.
And people’s words only get to her nerves.
