The Real Me! ! (Different) Poem by Becky Ginn

I can't take it anymore
I've had enough and I want to die
I'm dying inside
Dying to be thin
They call me
They hurt me
All because i'm not pretty on the outside
But they don't know me
The REAL me
The inside me
I'm pretty, skinny, clever
But they don't get to know that part of me
The REAL me
The inside me
On the inside i'm everything I ever wanted to be
Well, I was
Until you chipped away at my confidence, my self-esteem
I don't even know who I am anymore
I'm just so cunfused
I don't know what to do
If you're told you're ugle and fat so many times
You start to believe it
And now......
I don't want to eat
I throw up after every meal
I've become that desperate
I'm stuck in a visious circle
I get called, I hardly eat anything, I throw up and then it all starts again
I can't take it anymore
I'm dying inside
Dying to be thin
