Why do you feel so unworthy?
You see the need not eat
or get rid of it when you do.
I don't understand it.
I wont pretend to either;
though I'll listen to you
when you need me to.
I listen to your problems
I listen to your pains.
I'll help you any way I can.
Just don't torture youself like this.
An old saying comes to mind;
Beauty is only skin deep.
But oh you have a beauty all your own
if only you'd realise it.
You don't have to conform
to what people want
You don't have to be so thin;
you're beautiful the way you are
Why can't you just see that?
