Figure In The Mirror

words from a loved one can make or break you, killing self esteem

I find myself falling on and on,into a downward spine. I feel so ugly,so piggish like swine.

  Looking in a mirror at my face and figure. I see myself far from perfect and I shiver.

 I'm feeling so over weight from the food I just ate,so with my hand I Binge and purge it away.
My friends they say, that they're going to pray, because my body's sadly fading away.

 But hey, if I could lose a few pounds while looking in my mirror, not continuously accepting this is bad for my health and figure.
 Self esteem weakens more as my lover tells me I'm a pig I'm ugly and fat. From the torment of hearing it over and over I know he is telling a fact.
 So I'm looking in the mirror at my face and figure while picking and guessing at my many imperfections.

How fragile and self doubting we become at the words of another. This speaks to the tragedy so many face, our purpose should be to lift one another, not tear each other down. Heart felt write...a purposeful message and an inspiration for us all to think before we speak. Nicely done.
