I step on the scale and the numbers are higher
I want to call it a liar
only it's a fact that
all I have done has failed.
I know you notice
how your hands can't wrap around my waist
how I've grown heavier
how my legs aren't getting thinner
I know I have an obsession with my reflection
And I try to remove any and every flaw
But I pierce my skin
where I wish I'd look different
If I skip 3 days, would I look better?
Maybe then you'd notice me
Maybe then you wouldn't have to lie
when you say how "perfect" I am
Or maybe you'll replace me
with someone who can fill in the missing piece.
