I look into the mirror

Studying my face

Smile for the camera

Hide my tears of shame

I see Instagram models

Perfect skin, tiny waist

Yes, I know it isn't true

But I still wish I looked that way

People say I'm thin

I think I'm overweight

Don't you see the fat?

I think I gained some yesterday

I always feel guilty

When I give in to what I crave

I need to make it right again-

So I won't eat, today

My friends are getting worried

They don't believe the lies I say

But I don't want to be a bother

So I smile- "I'm okay"

I just feel so tired

My stomach's in constant pain

It doesn't matter

Have I lost any weight?

I can't get out of bed again

It's already midday

My parents think I'm lazy

But I just can't find the strength

I look into the mirror

Studying my face

Society, am I pretty now?

I think I'm feeling faint
