She battles her demons, day in, day out. They don’t stay quiet, they scream and shout. They tell her she’s ugly, they tell her she’s fat. Her thighs are too big and her stomach’s not flat. She starves herself but that’s not enough. This desire to be thin has proven to be tough. It’s making her miserable, it’s making her sad. The quicker the weight loss, it won’t be as bad. But the weight is staying and it won’t disappear. She’s taking it to the extreme And she’s making it clear That she wants to be thin And thin she will be. But what you don’t know is that girl is me.

The Desire To Be Thin
She battles her demons, day in, day out. They don’t stay quiet, they scream and shout. They tell her she’s ugly, they tell her she’s fat. Her thighs are too big and her stomach’s not flat. She starves herself but that’s not enough. This desire to be thin has proven to be tough. It’s making her miserable, it’s making her sad. The quicker the weight loss, it won’t be as bad. But the weight is staying and it won’t disappear. She’s taking it to the extreme And she’s making it clear That she wants to be thin And thin she will be. But what you don’t know is that girl is me.
