Anything To Be Perfect

Have You Ever Looked Into A Mirror,
And Hated Everything Looking Back At You?
Well, That's What It Was Like For Her
But She Was Going To Change That,
Doing Whatever She Could Possibly Do.

She Was A Healthy Enough Girl,
Except She Wanted To Be Even More.
So One Night, She Made A Decision,
And She Opened The Bathroom Door.

Her Stomach, Too Full For Her Liking,
Her Eyes Start Brimming With Tears.
She Weighs Herself On The Scale,
Around Her, The World Disappears.

The Number Is Not Low Enough!
She Screams Inside Her Mind.
So She Runs Toward The Toilet,
An Escape She's Trying To Find.

Her Fingers Are Shaking,
She Sticks Two Deep In Her Throat.
All The Guilt She Had Inside,
Is Now In The Toilet, Roughly Afloat.

When Her Stomach Feels Empty,
She Stops But She Keeps On Crying.
She Never Thought She'd Sink So Low,
Give It All Up After Trying, So Hard.

But She Continued To Do It,
No Matter How Sickening It Was.
She Was Still On The Hunt Of Being Perfect,
So This Is What She Still Does.

She Knows That It's Wrong,
Yet She Won't Stop, She Just Won't.
Perfect Is What She Could Have Been Before,
But She Ruined It, Sticking Fingers Down Her Throat.
