Mother Dearest

Old, comment if you like.

Hey there mom, one day I want to look just like her
like that girl in the picture
I've seen her on the runway
Mom, why can't I be pretty like her?
I've sucked in my stomach
I've pinched my waist
spent hours touching this ugly face
yet I just can't seem to be perfect just like her
Hey mom, can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Maybe I should start dieting or not eating at all
I think maybe that'd scare you
Maybe I could just take some of those special pills?
Mom? Why are you crying?
Everything is going to be just fine,
I'm going to like what I see
Staring back at me in the mirror
I'll be happy mommy
Because I'll be perfect just like her
