So many colors so much pain
who ever knew beauty could make you insane
Eyes closed as you say goodbye
So much for eating as you cry
[if only you were pretty this wouldn’t be necessary]
But your not you fat[so you think]
that’s all you can see, you starve your self
Hoping it will make you [so called pretty]
Time fly’s by, you soon become thin
[your ever lasting dream came true]
Then they tell you
“you have to eat you have a problem”
Never knew being skinny was such an issue
Look at seventeen, and M magazine
You keep on and on its never enough
You can never be to thin,
The skinnier the prettier
that’s the way it goes
So soon your freezing your down to the bone
They tell you to get help that it just isn’t right!
You tell them its ok, it was a long fight
You can never be to skinny beauty is always pain
Its just a messed up game
On and on you say you’ll never stop
On and on days with no food
Just enough skin to cover the bones
Your sorry you say as the addiction to be thin
Took over your life, took over your mind
Just how thin is to thin[?] they ask you each day
Your answer are you joking[]
You can never be to thin!

I love this! Well-written, and yes, does describe our friend the eating disorder extremely well...
