Toothbrush

by Robert   Jan 7, 2007


Looking at the mirror
smiling for a while
I dropped 2 jeans sizes
but I still look kinda vile

So I rush to the bathroom
grab a toothbrush
throw away the pain and the sadness
Need to feel better,
need to think thin
need to get away from the world that I'm living in...

Maybe I should cook a meal
or call for a take away
To try remove the pain I feel
but inside me, this food can't stay..

... So I rush to the bathroom
grab a toothbrush
throw away the fat, and the sadness
I need to feel better
I need to think thin
I need to run away from the life that I'm in

I need to get away..
no I can't stay
I need to feel different..
It's just so hard..
I'm acting a bit stupid
and that makes me feel worse..
But now I am addicted,
this is a curse...

Can't help but rush to the bathroom
grab a toothbrush
throw away the nothing I've ate..
I still need to feel better
I still think I'm fat
my life just can't get any worse than that

I need to feel pretty
I need to feel thin
I need to run away from the world that I'm in...

    I've been sitting here for about three minutes now, trying to come up with something to say, but I can't. I can't say anything without sounding completely retarded, or telling you about the shit society's making you go through, or saying that I sympathize. Because I can say all I want that I feel your pain, bud. But the truth is, I think you're better at it than me.

    Sad indeed! As a young lady living in a superficial society, I know exactly what this poem is trying to say. I especially liked the last stanza:

    "I need to feel pretty
    I need to feel thin
    I need to run away from the world that I'm in..."

    I hate how people always prefer thin over, well, over-weight. Being both, extremely thin and too over-weight is completely unhealthy...
    Haha! Well, this should be about your poem not my rants and raves. I liked it! Well done!
    5/5
