Being yourself Quote by Anonymous
“Suddenly the mirror shows some fat, Suddenly wrists become paper, Suddenly the scale becomes the enemy, Suddenly pencil sharpeners are weapons, Suddenly pillows are for tears, Suddenly life is worthless, Suddenly blood is relief, Suddenly sleep is an escape, Suddenly meals become torture, Suddenly friends are fake, Suddenly makeup becomes necessary, Suddenly everything is ugly, But one day the mirror will show someone beautiful, Wrists will heal, The scale will be a friend, Pencil sharpeners will be for pencils, Pillows will be comfortable, Life will be worth living, Blood will be bad, Sleep will be for dreams, Meals will be effortless, Friends will be real and true, Makeup will not be needed, Everything will become beautiful, And you will be better and stronger for it all.”
