There she stands, looking in the mirror..she judges herself
"Why cant you ever stop eating?" "Youre so fucking fat! How can you live with youself?"
"Ughh come on you can do it just suck it in..." "I have to stuff my fingers down my throaght to look like everyone else"
She wonders if shell ever be as thin as the other girls but everyone else can see that shes wasting away
People are concerned but dont say a word
She wears baggy clothes, ashamed of her body
She cant wait to go home to purge the dirt(food) from her system and to once again stand infront of that mirror
She doesnt think she can possibly punish herself enough for eating that last meal.so she cuts until the tears stop
She sleeps the days away...but still dreaming about that mirror
She catches herself infront of it at times for hours
She wants to escape!

Wow very strong write and strong message. I don't rele see y people [[mainly girls]] look in the mirror for a long time just to descriminate theirselves...every1 is perfect in their own way no matter what others say or think of them & I have to admit I was/still sumwhat am one of those girls who think "i'm not thin enough" or "i'm just too ugly" and "i'll never be perfect enough". Anyways this was a great write and I enjoyed reading this.

Your welcome. Yeah I still look in the mirror and say in my head "gah why can't I be thin like other girls?" and "I hate having acne, why can't my skin be perfect?" Yeah I think your right, because no one is really perfect, but they try so hard to be, and I know for sure that I'm not perfect at all.

Yeah, I mean I'm thin, but I wish I were thinner, and my mom says that I'm too thin. I don't have ance as bad as I used to, but I have break outs when I'm stressed out and I hate it.
