Wow

Looking in a mirror
You see yourself,
You see yourself as many things
You have many changes to make.

You're a human
Do you like what you see
No, not always... or rarely ever
You hate it.

You see big,
You see ugly, and fat
You absolutely disgust yourself
You want to be different.

Seeing yourself skinny
With a porcelin - like face
Doll - like hair, and pretty lips
All you want is that, those looks.

What will it take
What can it take to look like that
hours over a toilet perhaps
gagging it all away.

Or maybe a lot of unnatural things
Chemicals to your hair
Silicone to the body
Is this truly what you want?

You look in the mirror again
Instead of seeing your "doll"
You see... you
And you like it... a lot.

You love your flat, thin hair,
Your tiny lips,
And even that little bulge on your stomach
You scorn yourself for wanting anything else.

You think back on all you have wanted
And all you can think...
The only thing you can manage to speak is
wow.
