So I'm not thin
(After seeing the movie "requiem for a dream" I wrote this poem.)
Beautiful, graceful, thin legs
A tight, strong belly
And big breasts is the fashion of today
But hardly nobody can relay
I try to eat less
But never I succeed
I even thought about using speed
I daily look inside the toilet
And still I am not thin
How far will I go?
How long is my breath?
This are the questions that are in my head
Will this in the end become my dead?
o my god, I'm going totally mad!
Society gets more facked-up everyday
You need to be beautiful and unhealthy thin
Because otherwise you do not fit in
Mothers are dieting more than ever
And do not realise there young daughters are very clever
They follow moms example forever
Diet pills, diet books and diet coke
Are the monsters of 2006
Will this horror story ever be fixed?
In some countries it's even beautiful to have some healthy fat
In my opinion our country is totally going mad!
how sad, how sad, how sad

Hail Hollywood! Hail, for brain-washing our society with fashion funded films. When I was younger, in my teens, girls were not attractive if they were too thin. So today, when I see ribs and rippled stomachs on young girls, it is a major turn off. Sex with a girl like this would be like sex with a boy. PUKE! Curvy hips, asses, and an ever so slight rounded tummy, spell WOMAN to me.

| This is a powerful subject to approach and so true! We do need to be constantly aware of who is watching, as our children are very impressionable. It's ridiculous how woman have always been insecure, and it is entirely society's fault. |

| A very real topic to write about, and I feel you write about it well. I especially like the penultimate verse. Good job. |

Unfortunately, this problem isn't going on only in your country; we tend to get thinner and thinner, till we get anorexic or bulimic. Loved your poem, it totally reflects reality. Well done!
One observation: in the 4th stanza, I think you meant: daughters ARE very clever |
