In Her Eyes

Everyday the same thought
crosses her mind,
"If only I were thinner,
that would be devine."

She looks in the mirror,
and what she sees,
is so totally different,
from you and me.

The pressures of weight loss
become more every day,
the less she eats,
she dwindles away.

Friends and family
see the change,
They just wish they could help her
face the pain.

Soon she's too weak,
to even speak.
When she finally realizes
It's time to eat.

Her body speaks out,
and tells her no,
She soon gives up,
Her name written in stone.
