Thin & Beautiful, Is It Worth It?

Contributed by Catalina on Tuesday, 2nd November 2004 @ 12:15:01 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



Why do I feel this emptiness inside?
Never good enough...
No matter how hard I try...

There is no one there,
To pick me up if I fall....
So do I take a chance,
And risk it ALL?

Or do I just give in,
To the divine temptation...
To be thin & beautiful,
Well, that's quite a question...

To be thin & beautiful...
Isn't that every girls dream?
Maybe it was just me...
But it's not all that it seems...

Now I am thin,
But I don't go anywhere...
I am usually quite tired,
And I have lost some of my hair...

Very beautiful indeed,
With circles under my eyes...
Losing my teeth,
And in pain most of the time...

So I will ask myself this question,
Only once more...
To be thin & beautiful is it worth it?
Now I'm not so sure...

Oh, I could really relate to this...especially the part about never being good enough. Accepting yourself and loving yourself as you are is the best thing. Knowing that this is what God gave me, and that He is happy with what I am has made all the difference.
Bravo to you for sharing!

Very meaningful.emotionly written.No dear girl it isn't worth it. If a man cannot accept a woman as she is he is not worth the time.My own mate is struggling with her weight and I truthfull tell her I love her as she is.It's not a body,but the person that really matters.Good write.
