I feel worthless;
why is no-one ever sees me
for what I am?
Am I just someone
to sit on the sidelines
I want to be free.
Do I have to conform
to society
just to be noticed?
Do I have to to be thin
to be pretty?
Or is there another way?
Why can't I be who I am?
Will not eating
make me liked?
Will it make my problems
go away?
Or will they stay?
Please I just want to be noticed
to be loved
and to love it return.
Why do I have to make myself
something I'm not
in order to do that?
Why can't I just be me?

Not quite related to the prompt Char but hey it's what I felt when I saw the pic.

Thanks I'm glad you think so; it wasn't that hard to write as I have been in a situation where people wanted me to change. Not going into that now though. I'm glad I got across the emotions I felt at that time as that was the hardest part. Still I'm glad you like it!
Thanks!

"Do I have to to be thin

-There should be a question mark there.
&&
"Or will they stay."
needs a question mark too.
:]
Good luck darling!
