Try to stay true to yourself
Never change to adapt to anyone else
Learning what you can do to put your smile on your face
You can be alone without feeling lonely
Loving yourself is always fun before you have time to love anyone else
Go into the light but stop before the clouds
Keep shining bright no matter whose around
God made everyone different
So why waste time fitting in and being limited
Do YOU
Be YOU
Live YOU
and most importantly
Love YOU!
To eat or not to eat, that is the query
To fit into the model image
The struggles of losing a huge amount of weight in a short period of time
The pressure from the media, from your peers
To have someone say you are pretty for a fat girl
To be tired of reaching down and on the edge of ripping your soul from your seams
To not care about the side effects as long as you can comfortably wear the latest trends
Being confident while feeling sick
To be on the highway of a fast dream but not being able to survive once you reach the exit
My dear to eat or not to eat, that is the query
