Picture perfect

by ~Ms. Sarah~ - Cancer

Picture perfect little girl
Not at all what she seems
Beauty masks her insecurities
Pants hide her bruised knees
Very skinny, everyday she pays the price
Shrinking her size
Making her problems bigger
Skinny and pretty with a rotting smile
Throwing up for just a while
She'll stop once she reaches her goal
But when will that be?
When they're planning the funeral arrangements
or fitting her for a hospital gown?

Reason for writing:

    someone I know
