Beauty stares in the mirror -
she sees ugly reflecting back at her.
Stomach flab spilling over her underwear
and untoned muscle everywhere.
This is all she sees.
Never thin enough - she thinks she eats too much.
Another day, another skipped meal.
The hunger pains will soon subside, and then she will be
thin - beautiful.
Pretty means skinny; food is her enemy.
Shallow eyes and sunken cheeks is the beauty that she seeks.
Never thin enough - she thinks she eats too much.
Starring at the magazines, wondering why she doesn't look like them.
A picture of perfection she can never attain.
Dress it up, cover it up,
but the ugly shines through.
Her make-up cannot hide the hideous skin beneath.
Beauty looks in the mirror,
Sad eyes with a pain-filled smile stare back at her.
