Jody Renee Pantiga - Anorexia

Jody Renee Pantiga - Anorexia

We sat br Not looking at one another br Though we were there for the same reason. br br Pretending the jutting bones br Weren't bad. br That we were acheiving br Ideal beauty. br br We'd spent so long br Pinching fat on our bellies br Critiquing our bodies in the mirror br Always seeing the same br Abomination br Fat overwhelming our senses. br br Until all we saw was fat... br Our lives wrapped up br In counting calories, br In watching the scale go down. br br Each pound lost br A minor victory br When we heard br 'Have you lost weight' br It thrilled us, It chilled us br It made us want to dissapear. br br After so many years br Of hearing br 'You have such a pretty face br You would be beautiful br If you lost some weight' br br We stand tall br Losing insane amounts of weight br We stand tall br As our beauty fades br We stand tall br When facing our grave br br Because... br br Nothing is as good as being thin br Nothing is as good as being br The girl all the girls wish they were br And all the boys want.
