Skinny isn't the point
  I’ve been lying to you,
  All this time,
  I still count calories,
  I still doubt myself,
  Wandering around this town,
  I still bite my tongue,
  Tuck in my waist,
  Delete old photos for an escape,
  I wanna be,
  The girl no one sees in me.
  What’s holding me back?
  Zero calories a day?
  Some think I am okay,
  But I am breaking everyday,
  I wanna live,
  But now I can’t,
  After that summer twenty is my best shot,
  Metabolism took a halt,
  When all the food came to a stop,
  Two summers ago,
  I can feel my energy not getting used up,
  I had already ceased thirty but that was not enough,
  Cried when I could not let myself accept me,
  And who I wanted to be,
  Thirty pounds too skinny,
  Two summers behind me.
