Wasted Away

Location

Magazines and photo clips

Stringy arms and collar bones

Thigh gaps and a flat stomach

Trigger.

 

Skipped meals and laxatives

Diet pills and exercises

All to look lovely for people

Who are pretty on the outside and ugly on the inside

 

Now her hair's falling out

Her teeth are rotting from all the vomitting

Her bones ache

She's falling apart

 

All because she wanted

To be as lovely as the model

In the fashion magazine

She's wasting away...
