a long time ago

Once a long time ago
there was a girl
she was weak
she was hurt
she was insecure
she was selfish
she wanted attention
she wanted to hurt herself
she would too, if she was brave
but only for attention

a short time ago
there was a girl
she thought she was ugly
she thought she was fat
she ate little portions
she didn't have a problem
she knew she didn't
they knew she did
they let it go

in the here and now
there is a girl
she is getting better
she told her mom
she talked about her problems
now she can move on
