The Constant Battle

step on the scale, a sigh with some tears
the same perception you've had for years.
never enough, or else you'd stop
never enough, no matter how much you drop.

year after year, you wither away
purge after purge, you still see yourself the same.

no you'll never be good enough
it's time to face the facts,
deep inside, you feel you're about to crack.

sick of the routine, that's been chasing you throughout your life
you've tried to live without it, despite all your efforts,
your need to get better has died.

their words race past you
never reaching your heart
never reaching your head
deep down inside, you feel as if you're dead.
wasting time until you go
and through all of your struggles, nobody knows.
you're that pretty girl, with confidence and pride
never will they know who you are on the inside.
