Superficial SicknessShe lived in a Barbie world,But felt like a cabbage patch kid.She never looked as good in clothes,As any models did.She wasn’t an ultra thin Kate Moss,But she wasn’t like Roseanne.Rather just your average size,Five to six woman.Media and society,Had led her to think she was fat.With Teri Hatcher on the screen;Who could blame her for that?She wanted to look like a normal woman,Elle Macpherson or Pamela Lee.She didn’t understand,They were too thin to be healthy.All the girls on the television,Were so much skinnier than she.So instead of having three meals each day,

She would just have a cup of tea.Hungry, but unable to eat,Repulsed at the sight of food.Anorexia visited often,Bulimia dropped in too.Just like Karen Carpenter,She thought she was too fat.Another death through an eating disorder,Blame society for that!
