Array ( [sid] => 114970 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Beauty [time] => 2006-02-17 17:06:02 [hometext] => [bodytext] => You live a life that on the outside glows
But the real you nobody knows
But I see it
And no matter how much you hide it from me it shows
Believe it
I know you cry at night when no ones around
I know that bending over that toilette is a horrible sound
So insecure with ones self
That you let all of your flaws effect your health
Such a beautiful peice of art
So why must you tear it apart
Child you are scaring me
For your skin is so frail
Is there somethin you wish to share with me?
Just let me help and I will not let you fail
Only sixteen years old
So precious and innocent
So many stories left untold
Catch it now before you wonder where it went
You don't have to be perfect to be noticed
You are fine just as you are
And I want you to know this
You are the greatest by far

Good write on the horrors of Bulemia, sorry you know someone dealing with this. I wish them well, hope they are getting some type of therapy.(had a friend who went through it) No matter what size, shape etc. we are all beautiful. It is the inside hatred that can spoil someone's look. Peace, Laura

You know, I blame commercialism for the epidemic of "size matters". I wish they could see that these 'perfect' models that they see on the magazines are airbrushed and those on television and the runway ruin their health and happiness to be that way. Look at all the retired models, their weight returns to normal size and some even become overweight. If one young person reads and heeds this this you wil have performed a miracle. Excellent write.
