As the mirror shows

A girl's battle with anorexia and the mirror

120
Happy face
Chubby thighs
She likes to dance
But looks into the mirror
And sighs.

115
Guys stare
Say she looks great,
Friends giggle
Never late.
The mirror tells
To her the
Marvels of losing more.

112
Food whispers
Their calorie count
And her friends start
To wonder.
The world becomes gray
As the mirror shows
Progress left to go
Relief lie only in slumber.

108
Friends ask questions
So she pushes them away.
Sleepless nights
Give way to workout bikes.
Sustained on minimum,
She must reach perfection
The mirror shows all her
Abundances

90
Face gaunt
Eyes dull
Pale white
A sad sight.
Tears all around,
Snotty rags passed.
Friends and family
Wish they noticed.
Now she lie at peace
For the mirror had
Finally won the battle.

Putting in the pounds really helped make your point. And the poem overall makes a really good point! Because I know quite a few girls who struggle like this.
