That is Beautiful...
May 30, 2011
Her skin stretched tightly over her bones
Because that is beautiful
Visible on her chest her heart thumped
Because that is beautiful
Her spindly legs hold clothing loosely as she models
Because that is beautiful
She weighs 80 pounds, but still does not eat
Because that is beautiful
Young girls see her in magazines and compare themselves
Because that is beautiful
She does not have energy
Because that is beautiful
Her eyes are hallow
Because that is beautiful
She does not eat, she does not live.
Is that beautiful?
