Skinny

Why would you want to be skinny?
It’s not that good, trust me.
Reducing yourself to size zero
with nothing by skeletal bones to show.

It’s illusions formed by the media, I guess
The desperate want for that Kate Moss dress.
With skinny comes a small boob size
chicken shaped legs, and shapeless thighs.

I’d give anything for gorgeous curves,
to receive the attention a womanly body deserves.
My blatant bones sticking out?
You’re oblivious to the abuse they shout.

What’s attractive about a visible spine?
Why do you keep going on about a figure like mine?
I’ve got nothing anyone could hug.
If I had your body, I’d be feeling smug.

All my life I’ve been told I’m too thin,
yet you starve yourself as if food’s a sin.
Why would you do that to yourself?
It’s really not good for your health!
