Goodbye Quote by Anonymous
“They'll check ur wrists but not your thighs, they'll hear your laughs but not your cries. Smile much, laugh loud, make jokes & lies. And they won't see the depression in your eyes. Just keep calm and starve yourself. You need to be pretty, forget about your health. Go look in the mirror on the wall, we need to be skinny, thin and tall.. Another cut upon your thigh, one step closer to goodbye.”
