Hunger

Hunger is weakness
I tell them there's no
Food in the house
It's true but when there is
And I open up the fridge
I tell myself there's nothing there
When those twig-like girls
Complain about their weight
I can't stand it.
When in the middle of class
My stomach growls, and my friends
Glance over at me,
I hate myself.
Cause it just shows the hunger
Still has control.
But at night, just before I sleep,
And I haven't ate, and I can feel
The hunger that wasn't satisfied
I'm happy.
Because the funny thing is-
I can't remember the last time someone
Called me skinny,
Or pretty.
Because I'm neither.

DOING WITH-OUT IS SOMETIMES A PUNISHMENT , SOMETIMES A SAD REALITY .. ENJOY WHAT YOU ARE, AND WHAT YOU HAVE, SO MANY DO WITHOUT ..

Like SoulCrusader(Yas) said, it is relatable and well-written. It is sad how everyone says you should love yourself the way you look, but people in the music, acting, and modeling industry make stars be a size 2 and/or get plastic surgery so they appear perfect on screen - when we are also told that no one is perfect. Very ironic, but anyways, nice job!
