an unending greed
An undying need to succeed
Watch me wither, disappear
Call me a control freak, I wear it with pride
Call me evil, I shall oblige
Call me a bitch, I will not cry
Call me a lapdog, not a lash I'll bat
Call me selfish, I will laugh
Your words don't phase me, I've run cold
Going hungry made me bold.
A fallen angel, my soul is old.
Let me be, alone and hungry
I ask nothing from you,
only from myself;
Control over every aspect of me.
Skinny
Mirror, mirror
on my wall
The reflection that you show me
Grotesque and inhuman, not beautiful at all.
Choking me, you're starving me.
You bruise my skin,
You break my heart and pluck its strings
Willpower keeps me pure, food is a sin
All across your surface
I only read one word
Printed across like pen in ink
It cuts into me just like a sword
Skinny, skinny
All across
Thin like a feather,
Flying through the air, an albatross
So light I walk atop the snow
So fragile not a single footprint in my wake
The hungry clouds my head
Every step I take my bones, they ache.
The fat girl in this mirror
She knows nothing of my plight
Yet still she lays down on the floor
Bawling there in a room with no light.
She cries and cries,
Her skin bruised blue and black
Spine aching on the hardwood floor
She cuts herself no slack.
Hard work for nothing
She's all alone, no one sees no one cares
She won't change, no one worries
Buying new jeans, half a dozen pairs.
Elation from starvation,
All she feels anymore,
Exhaustion always setting in at night
Picking up on its bedtime war
Mirror, oh mirror,
On the wall,
She could never be
The fairest of them all.
But mirror, have mercy
She's on her knees for you
Begging til her tongue runs dry
Asking you what could she do?
Mirror, she's a slave to you
You run her life, you ruin it
Her health is gone,
Give everything just for it
For a newer, more beautiful reflection.
Mirror, mirror
Don't you see?
That what you show destroyed her
Just the same as it destroys me.
