Go Figure

By Loserland

Ruthless media in my eyes
Everywhere I look around
Skinny girls with their sex appeal
I don’t fit their form
What’s wrong with me
They seem to do it so effortlessly
They eat what I eat
I gain, they lose
The more I gain the more I really lose
I’ve learned beauty is success
Pretty ones get what they want
I feel inadequate
Lacking in the image department
Again I check the mirror
I don’t measure up
I feel sick
I vomit
I vomit until there’s blood
I vomit until there’s nothing
I would become a cannibal
And eat my own flesh
But it would only make me fatter
Starving for attention
Striving to be perfect
But I exist as I am
Am I worthless
Am I incapable of significance
Should I jump from up here
To end the misery I impose
Will I splat all over the sidewalk
Maybe land on a couple of hourglass models
And smother them to death with my dead weight

You did a wonderful job. I can totally relate to it "They eat what I eat I gain, they lose" I completely understand those lines. -Elizabeth

A former member wrote: Mmm...there's one problem with this poem...those fucking models DON'T have hourglass figures. They're sticks and they're ugly. An original person is always more beautiful than a statistic...

oh, this is very strong and angry...personally, I don't think you need to change a thing, your mind is all you need, and yours is exceptional,
