Could You?

What would your seven-year old self say if She saw you refusing your favorite kind of ice cream? Because that ice cream has way too many calories, Right? What would your seven-year old self think if You looked at her everyday and told her, 'you're fat' Because that's what you do when you look in the miror everyday, Right? What would your seven-year old self think of you when she found out You count every single calorie you eat Because if you eat too many calories, you might get fat, Right? What if your seven-year old self found out that You cry yourself to sleep every night Because you can't release your emotions any other way, Right? How would your seven-year old self feel If you called her horrid names everyday when you looked at her Because that's what you do to yourself, Right? What if your seven-year old self asked you Could you call me the same terrible names you call yourself everyday? But no, you couldn't, so why do you call yourself these things?

Just getting my thoughts out. Saw something that inspired me, so I wrote this. I know it's not much of a poem, but I was just writing it to release emotions.
