I look into the mirror and my stomach starts to churn
It's for a model thin body that I truly yearn
My insides start to sink and I want to run and cry
I look up at God and ask "Why, oh why?"
Why can't I be prettier, why can't I be thin
How come no one cares about anything beneath the skin
My hair is gross I'm way too fat
Couldn't you do something about that?
It's then that I get a lesson, in image 101
"My daughter I created you, I made no mistakes, not one.
You are beautiful beyond compare
I love you're face, your nose, your hair
I made you just how I wanted you to be
In you it's a knock out beauty I see
I have a guy picked out for you
He'll be intoxicated with your beauty too
It hurts me to think you don't like my masterpiece
I don't think you're too fat, I think you're a peach
Please don't insult my wonderful creation
These thoughts aren't really yours, it's jsut Satan
He wants you to fit in with the world
He tells you that you need make up and hair that's curled
Don't listen to him, I love you as you are
I know in life that you'll go far.
Fairwell my dear daughter
Remember my words
Remember them well and from them learn."

*big hug* Wow....this made me frown in the beginning, and then it brought gave me a smile. I also thought I was too fat (most likely think) and ugly, but I have too many people saying I'm pretty and not....that it can't be true. I love my body, and I know I need to lose a little bit of weight....but still. Ok this isn't about me it's about you lol.
