Ready for the Runway

Primped and Primed,
With a gap between my thighs,
Ready to workout cause,
I can still pinch and inch,
I've starved for days,
Only water and whey,
Nothing you say,
Could stop me from being this way,

No worries,
I'm fine,
I'm just trying to look divine,
Tight clothes to show off my bones,
I wannabe thin,
Ready for the Runway,

At school all day,
Ugh I feel faint,
Water and an almond,
Oh thank God I'm saved,
More water and a walk,
I go to throw up,

Passed out on the floor,
The paramedics pick me up,
Put me on an IV and tell me I'm to thin,

It's your fault society,
You tell me I'm fat, jiggly and gross,
My legs can't touch,
My hips can't grow,
Arms can't jiggle,
My stomach can't bulge,
Can't look down and make two chins,

So I starve,
and I binge,
Still trying to be thin,
Getting ready for the runway,
Might kill me in the end.
