"**** I'm super fat"
"But girl what happened to your body? If you had never bothered about it"
"**** look at me, well look, it doesn't matter you don't understand it anyway"
"But what are you doing?"

Look in the mirror and tell me if the eye is deceiving you
It's just a mirage that will hurt you
See your reflection in the water when you bathe
Look at your weight on the scale after one year

Fat, I know it hurts you
But the solution is not to lock yourself in the bathroom
I know what you think when you look at your reflection
But your enemy is the people, not the mirror

That complex is the object of ridicule
Sticking your fingers down your throat doesn't help
If others hurt you because you do it too
Is to agree with the dumbest in the class

They are mirages out of realism,
Fight to love yourself or you will fall into the abyss
You are the make-me laugh when you go out to a party
People watch you on the street and it bothers you

You feel ashamed and when you try on dresses you scratch yourself,
Fed up! of having to order another size
On the beach, you don't expose your body because you get depressed
You throw in the towel when you see those movie bodies

You want to lose weight at any cost
They can hear the arches through the doorway if they are silent
Your mother worries and you don't care
You feel your patience to lose weight is declining

You can't stop vomiting, you feel pretty
You see in the magazines the bodies you want and they catch you
But it's not you, it's just what you want to be
So that others show a little more interest in you

But it's that society is like that, it's sad
Don't trust your reflection or what you saw
Self-conscious, I see it in your eyes
Wanting it all, all without having to do anything

Looking for an easy way
Inside that body hides a fragile heart
I know that it is easy to say for the one who does not suffer it and the one who does not feel it
But the eye creates a mirage that lies to you

"I don't know, I think you shouldn't, there are other ways"
"Shut the **** up okay? You're not in my skin!"
Rubbing your uvula is more attractive to you
Much easier and faster than deciding
If you do diet or do sports because that's hard
And also you do not dare to bet if it is not on insurance

You just want a nice body
That they see you with different eyes and recognize your type
But the beauty is inside

Although you are not satisfied with being told that as a person you are better
You value yourself little and your self-esteem touches the ground
Fashion is the lure and you are the fish that bite the hook
Image is not everything to everyone

There are other methods to lose weight, there are other ways
You have a nickname that they do not name when you are present
You pretend you don't care what they comment
But you want to prove something that you shouldn't
But I understand your helplessness being just a girl

Boys reject me because you're not pretty
Crying days your diary tells it
A closer way than I can understand
Any of us seeing you suffer like this, they will cry

You want to be satisfied and eat and return the calories
You obsess over your body and weigh yourself every day
Every hour you feel little evolution
Your friend cries because she can't believe your situation

You do not think to stop until you are finally happy
And that your weight must be around 70 pounds
Low self-esteem and you don't feel confidence
Zero personality and that's depressing

No need to stand out aesthetically
You have always been totally dependent
Of the thought that others have towards her
Her mind is weak, she just wants to be beautiful

Every day that passes you look thinner
You still look the same even though you are worse off
Your friend advised you and you didn't want to listen to her
You order little food and leave more than half now

You weigh 60 pounds and you still look fat
But it's not the mirror, it's your mind that warps
The one that gives shape to that false image you see
Mirages is what your mind wants to believe

Who decides and who gives meaning to the perfect
If being superficial for me is just another flaw
The imperfect human being
The machine that will destroy this world with its own hands
