running several miles
to take off the extra pounds
hopeing the weight of my bones
will also go down
"You're too skinny"
It isn't enough
to be a thinner than air
im corrupted with madness
and as for the dangers,i dont care
"Please eat...."
eating means weakness
i have no control
glamour and beauty mean everything
and i will pay the toll
"You are going to die"
I'm going to be a model
be the brighest star
leave dysfuction and flaws behind
to shine near and far
"Eat now, young lady"
i'll purge away my weakness
cover it up with alcohol
and stare at my fat covered body
ribs and all
"Call 911"

Oh my
This is so sad and so many people think this way. Sad it is that the modeling places havent stepped outside to see the real world for if they had they would see no one in the real world starves to fit into their clothes . Its so sad the young girls and some guys do this to their body even though they are told they will die young and never be able to enjoy that life they have killed themselves for

great write. those quotes by other people play an important role in the whole process. its a horrible self destructing struggle.
great job on this, and good luck in the contest.
