I seem to look in the mirror
And I see someone obese
Large love handles
Fat all over
How could anyone love me?

My friends tell me I'm think
Almost skeletal
But they're blind
Delusional!

They say my bones stick out
That I'm always pale
And look sick
But what do they know?!
They're all thin!
Everyone loves them

I eat
Sure, I do
Maybe a small salad
But diet isn't enough
To get thin

Running the water in the sink
To hide the sound of my gagging
To hise the splash of my meal
Hitting the tolit water

Standing up
Wiping my face clean with a towle
I brush my teeth
Wash the tate from my mouth
Wasing away the pain of hunger in my stomach

The girl in the mirror that I see
Is still not thin
But with determination and decipline
I'll be thin, and loved

Now I'm in the hospital
My heart almost gave up on me
The statement is true,
It pays to be thin

But when I get out
I'll go back to my best friend ED
It's worth it
Even if I have to pay for it with my life
At least I'll look good, I'll be thin when I die
