Reflections
A woman sees her picture,
She can't resist a glance,
Passing a shop window,
Would she change,
Given the chance?
Big nose,
Small *******,
Short arms,
And the rest,
She looks over
She hates what she sees,
A beautiful woman,
'I can't eat what I please!'
Dye can only do so much,
Creams and shampoos,
Sport and diets,
You'll just gain the pounds you
Lose.
Size 14,
Once so huge, now the norm,
Clothes show buldges,
Body far from the perfect form
You stare into a mirror
and what you'd like to see
Is your teenage self
In all her skinny glory,
Yet for those you don't know
Strangers passing by,
Wouldn't stare and think
She's eaten all the pies,
Whilst your lying eyes,
Set out to hurt you,
People will see and think,
I wish I looked like that too.
