Not thin enough


The horror still creeps inside
of how I look on the outside
turning my head up and down
spinning around and around
The shallow face of grace
can not be erased
the thin waist so perfect
I'm just an object
but yet not perfect at all
I'm just normal
The thoughts continues to dive up
to knock me on my back
to make me stumble into wrong track
I'm not good enough
I have to look thin and tough
the thies are small
but not small enough
The anguish sweeps me off my feet
between good and bad, I compete
Looking back at what I was
I only saw flaws
watching myself now
and one part of me says wow
comparing , measuring
I'm healthy now
but the thoughts will forever remain
to remind me of the unbearable pain
when the anguish comes to me again
