Healthy.

A goal I feel 

I’ll never attain. 

Friends worry as

my intake dwindles.

 

Just a little further

she says

But what is it

I want? 

Friendship

Love

Compassion.

To love

the girl in the 

mirror. 

You will, 

just you see

don’t give up now. 

You’ve worked

so hard

to achieve the 

tiny figure.

Not enough.

Never enough. 

Will I ever 

live up to her

expectations?

If I don’t 

fight 

I lose her. 

Fight to

stay strong. 

Push the tears

away.

But you’ll never know

how it feels 

to cry over your own

Reflection.
