The little girl looked at her reflection

Perfecting an exquisite facade



The young girl looked at her reflection

Poking at her chubby cheeks and sunken eyes



The teenage girl looked at her reflection

Happy with her sunken cheeks and concealed eyes



The teenage girl looked at her reflection

Practising her smile

It does not reach her eyes

The teenage girl looked at her reflection

In the toilet the water was clear

She loved how her cheek bones were noticeable

Like they could tear through her skin



The teenage girl looked at her reflection

A grimace on her face

Hand pushing into her already small stomach



The teenage girl looked at her reflection

Sunken Eyes

Sunken Cheeks

Finally perfect

Until the next week that is



The little girl looked at her reflection in the mirror
