*why does it seems like nobody reads my a/n?? plz do!*
she was pretty and beautiful
and they were jealous;
they called her dull
and ugly and torn.
she used to love herself
and she loved everything,
in and out,
she owned the beauty
and the others hated
when she outshone.
and then came the days
when the calls grew out
and she couldn't contain in, anymore;
no breakfast, lesser lunch,
no dinner, no snacks.
she abandoned herself
and she would look
at the mirror i the night
dead in the eye,
her shrinking reflection
looking at her belly,
or her thighs,
with only one thing in her mind;
she's not enough.
she became someone else
losing herself a little
with each bite she shoved away,
and each dress which loosened.
makeup, higher heels,
roaming around the city
with burning skin
and a fake smile on her face.
and people told her,
she was beautiful.
from where she watched
she was still ugly
and a dull person
who can't interest anyone.
and she left some more
of what she had.
she left her food,
she left the crisps,
she let the morning coffee,
she left her tea.
she left herself
somewhere log before;
and on her last day
she was a walking dead,
a hollow body,
praying for death.
for this was the time
when she was tired,
tired of the starving
tired of the skin
tired of herself.
and with her last breath
she exhaled the hope
left in her heart,
that she will be sometime
more beautiful...
