To Be Beautiful
Push one foot in front of the other
Over and over the sound of my shoes hitting the pavement
Echo in my ears til there is no other noise
A steady pace and my mind wanders
Pain to be beautiful
So much pain
Hunger pains muscle pains
Pains in many other forms
Running starving
Months with no real food
Just disgusting replacement shakes
All to be beautiful
Mood swings pale skin dark circles
This isn't beauty this is sad
One foot in front of the other
So tired so weak
Just to be beautiful
Over and over the sound of my shoes hitting the pavement
Echo in my ears til there is no other noise
A steady pace and my mind wanders
Pain to be beautiful
So much pain
Hunger pains muscle pains
Pains in many other forms
Running starving
Months with no real food
Just disgusting replacement shakes
All to be beautiful
Mood swings pale skin dark circles
This isn't beauty this is sad
One foot in front of the other
So tired so weak
Just to be beautiful

your poem is a sad tale that applies to too many. I'll forego all the cliche's. you wrote the poem to display your heart...
