Small waist, wide hips
pretty face and long legs
They hurt us, use us and tell us what we can and cannot be
We ask them to stop, we beg and plea
We stop eating and slit our wrists
It's really making us pissed
You need to stop
This bullshit is non-stop
You rape and beat us
But we don't make a fuss
It was just a joke they say
I laugh in disbelief as my body decays
I cry, tears running down my now plastic face
Decaying, dying with grace...
