Eating disorders Oh now I know
Only now I see
These illusions shed their skin, and reveal the truth to me.
My adolescent heart, how you chased many a dream.
Never truly believing someday
You’d know it’s not as It seems.
To be beautiful, really.
What does it mean?
It means so little, and so much to me.
So long as I am inside this body
Well I can never be free.
I’m selling out a culture that once-
Threatened to terrorize me
Yes, I’ve become acceptable.
I’ve become what I resented
Because the way I look
Before the words I say
Is the order in which I’m presented.
"I’m selling out a culture that once-
