Shrink yourself !
Society screamed at her
Smaller, slimmer, more beautiful !
It was society who demanded it
So she listened

She would make herself beautiful
Just .. a simple diet
How hard could it be?

No more candy
And it worked

No more soda's
Easy

No more fat
Finally she fitted into the clothes of her smaller sister

No more sugar
Look at her getting thin !

Just .. no more food
Look society ! Look !
Is what she thought
I'm becoming beautiful !

,

Just .. her against the evil
The evil that was her body
If she could she'd trade it in
But this also worked !

She started out simple
Just .. keeping track
Track of her daily intake
She didn't really need that much !

Track of her daily burning
She found a better route to school

Track of her daily weight
She didn't want to see the number, but she had to !

Track of her everything
Writing it down, making improvements

And it worked !

Just .. a little more
Look society ! Look !
Is what she thought
I'm becoming beautiful !

,

Just .. a little longer
She'd tell herself
Pushing through every day
I'm almost there

Her body was starting to give up
Just .. tired
Tired after a full night of sleep
It'll get better

Tired after walking to school
Finally she saw the building rising up along the skyline

Tired after taking the stairs
People pushed past her, annoyed because she wasn't fast enough

Tired after living for 15 years
But look at her ribs !

Just .. tired
Look society ! Look !
Is what she thought
I'm becoming beautiful !

,

Just .. eat
Is what they said
But she just couldn't
Afraid of what society would say

Destroyed by other people's words she gave up.
They found her limp body hiding by the lake, just a skeleton with pale, thin skin.
But a small smile still graced her lips.
As if to say:

Look society ! Look !
I'm beautiful now !

,

Shrink yourself !
Society screamed at her
Smaller, slimmer, more beautiful !
It was society who demanded it
So she listened
