The New Me

Pictures posted on the mirror
thinness was my goal
I had a grip, I thought I could steer it
but my life was way out of control
I didn't realize how little I ate
or how bad I was wasting away
all I wanted was to lose the weight
that the girls mocked me about every day
"You're fat, you're weird," they said with a laugh
and soon it got to my head
they didn't realize that those harsh words
are what could have made me dead
After four years in a hospital room
I was finally on the road to recovery
I gained some faith, I gained some weight
and I finally learned to love me
Fifty pounds of confidence gained
and curves that go on for days
the smile I now wear is the best curve of all
and I'd say now I have it made
I'm still a normal teenage girl
I've just seen a lot more than some
the only time I'll ever look back
is to see how far I've come
My new curves make my clothes have a different fit
and my hair is sometimes a mess
to some people that makes me imperfect
but to me my flaws are what make me FLAWLESS
