Never shall I forget that day, 

Seeing all of those skinny, beautiful girls,

Wondering “why can’t I look like that?”, 

Thinking about it all 

Never shall I forget that day, 

Deciding “maybe I won’t eat today”, 

Sitting hunched over hungry, 

All trying to lose some simple weight 

Never shall I forget that day, 

When he told me he thought I was pretty, 

I sat with a smile on my face, 

But still could not believe him

Never shall I forget that day, 

Tasting the tears that ran down my face, 

As I sat in the mirror comparing myself to others, 

Once again asking myself why I do not look like them

But, never shall I forget that day, 

When I realized I am perfect the way I am, 

Realizing that everyone is different 

Never
