Wish I Was Skinny

by Raychel   Nov 5, 2006


Staring back in the mirror,
I'm obsessed with my reflection.
Seeing my every flaw,
I'm fixated on every imperfection.

I'm not the same as every other girl,
When I step off the scale.
I feel like I'm getting bigger by the minute,
If I eat I will fail.

I wish I were like a ballon,
So that maybe I could pop.
Be skinny like her and her,
That this weight gain would just stop.

The girl staring back at me from behind the mirror,
Is just so ugly and plain.
Nothing's really special about the way she looks,
Who ever likes how she looks must be completly insane.

    I know how you feel sweetie! But, trust me, I doubt you're fat! Don't worry about how you look...I always thought I was fat but I have a loving boyfriend and that's all I need...Once you find love, it doesn't matter what anyone esle thinks about you! But, from now on.....forget about your weight!

    I like this poem but you are not fat. I have never seen you but I am 12 and 165lbs. I hate the way I look, I wish I could change 2 but I won't do anything extreme to get that way. Please don't you do anything extreme either. I hope you feel better some day but for the time being, think about the good things you have. I hope this helps. Great poem! Hang in there, luv SexyLesbian

    Wow, it has alot of emotion, makes the reader actually feel how you do. You shouldn't worry about your weight but I think that your poem was great.

    :) keep it up,

    Dude...you're not fat. I'm fat. I've had McDonalds four days in a freaking row. And I only played basketball once...now THAT is fat. Don't worry about how you look ;)

    As for the poem, it was great. I think rhythm and rhyme are your strong points, followed by emotion. I'd say keep it up...but you already know to ;)
