You look at your reflection miserably.
What is wrong with me?
You stare at your body in horror.
Do I need to be thinner?
You're not fat you tell yourself firmly.
You just need to be a little bit thinner.
It would make you a little bit prettier...
Then maybe I'll be good enough for them...
You get comments on how good you look...
Your clothes that were once snug, are now hanging off
But its still not good enough.
You hide yourself under makeup and baggy clothes,
coming up with excuses for why you look so sick.
Bones start jutting out,
hair starts falling out..
People start to worry,
but no one noticed before it was too late..
Friends try to help,
but the desire is far too strong.
"I'll never be good enough."
