Body Shaming
I gaze in the mirror
And wonder at what comes next
What lies will I find, from this no friend of mine
That fill my head
Sticks and stones might break my bones
But words hurt at the sound
Whoever thought to this degree it'd be me
Body Shaming myself
When the glamour mags tell me I have
To look a certain way
Before you know, self-esteem hits a new low
My confidence clearly taking a break
With little left but the thoughts in my head
Being the only thing that seems to count
Here I go again trying to do myself in
Body Shaming myself
All the lies about, what really counts
Have itching ears listening
Eager to cave to the latest craze
A vicious circle with no end
Believing the lies multiple times
Leaving behind little doubt
This mirror I find doesn't see the inside
Body Shaming myself
