Where's your Celebrity now?

by Nicole Latham   Feb 17, 2014


The media flaunts it
My life wants it
Flipping through magazines
OMG look how pretty
I gotta find the secret
To being that skinny

Beautiful hair
A belly so flat
A cute small nose
I'd die to look like that

Today I'm so hungry
But I'll ignore it all
So I'm no longer ugly
Just so skinny and tall

150
120
Why am I still so ugly
I need to look like them
So someone will love me

Starvation..
Diet pills..
They are my hero
I'm on the right track
To being a double zero

100
90
I'm almost there
I'm starting to look so pretty
Doesn't anyone care?

Everyone points
Everyone stares
They say I look gross
Why won't the care?

The media flaunted it
And all i did was want it
Now I lay here
Weak and sick
I just wanted to be pretty
Not end up like this

I wrote this for the on growing problem
Of eating disorders and anorexia. It claims
The lives of beautiful people everyday. don't be another
Statistic. Your beautiful the way you are
