She is unhappy She feels so scarred She feels so ugly She feels so large She looks so tired She looks so trapped She seems so sad So broken, so snapped She doesn't cry like an angel Her eyes are puffy and her face is a mess She gives silent heaves and wipes at her nose And she knows she as ugly as everyone says She ***** in her cheeks Pinches her nose Pulls up her brows Then drops the pose She changes her clothes She fixes her nails She cuts her hair And no one cares She slathers on foundation Stains her lips with rouge Conceals every imperfection Stills her hair with mousse She still feels ugly She still feels overweight She still won't eat a bite of food Until she feels she looks great But that day isn't coming She is judged everyday By that mirror and that scale And the model on the front page She's fat, she knows it She's not in perfect shape There's no thigh gap There's no one that likes her face And she's staring at the mirror Seeing her reality She wants to look better She wants to be pretty She's staring at the mirror She's waiting for the image to change She's waiting for her work to pay off She checking every single day And she's staring in the mirror It's been years and she still doesn't fit And she's staring at the mirror But never once has she liked the image

She is unhappy She feels so scarred She feels so ugly She feels so large She looks so tired She looks so trapped She seems so sad So broken, so snapped She doesn't cry like an angel Her eyes are puffy and her face is a mess She gives silent heaves and wipes at her nose And she knows she as ugly as everyone says She ***** in her cheeks Pinches her nose Pulls up her brows Then drops the pose She changes her clothes She fixes her nails She cuts her hair And no one cares She slathers on foundation Stains her lips with rouge Conceals every imperfection Stills her hair with mousse She still feels ugly She still feels overweight She still won't eat a bite of food Until she feels she looks great But that day isn't coming She is judged everyday By that mirror and that scale And the model on the front page She's fat, she knows it She's not in perfect shape There's no thigh gap There's no one that likes her face And she's staring at the mirror Seeing her reality She wants to look better She wants to be pretty She's staring at the mirror She's waiting for the image to change She's waiting for her work to pay off She checking every single day And she's staring in the mirror It's been years and she still doesn't fit And she's staring at the mirror But never once has she liked the image
