I have been an avid reader of you for two years sticking with you through every fat melting, curve creating, ‘scientifically tested,’ filling, plumping, thinning… lie Dear Mr Magazine I was there through every fad, every phase, every diet… and now, it is now, it is only now, that I realise. Dear Mr Magazine I realise that even though I was there for you, you were never there for me wrapping me up in your pages I thought you were a blanket of warmth and solidarity in a world that only lied… but you were the liar Dear Mr Magazine you lied to me and I trusted you I wrapped up my heart in your pages to absorb what would make me beautiful because I could never really be beautiful, could I Mr Magazine? Dear Mr Magazine you gifted us with a free makeup brush and a trip to the psych ward you gifted us with ‘TOP 10 TIPS TO PLEASE YOUR MAN!’ and an eating disorder you gifted us with diet shake recipes and bottles of green happy pills Dear Mr Magazine I was an avid reader of you for two years sticking with you even though you never stuck by me I wrapped my trust up in your pages and you swallowed it with smiling white teeth Dear Mr Magazine you tear away little girls self esteem like I am tearing you now the rip of your pages slowly pumps belief back through my heart I cannot believe I let you control me for so long! Dear Mr Magazine I just want to thank you thank your shreds lying on my bedroom floor I just want to thank you for showing me what it’s like to live as a ghost of myself
