You see lady
That thinks she’s too ‘thick’
Grimacing in her own sick
In attempts to be ‘stick’
Thin...
I saw you this morning
In mourning of the sight
Of your ever growing thighs
Why?
When others see beauty
You’re too deceived by the reflection
Of your state of mind

You see lady
I noticed your struggled
Attempts to put food inside you
Confessed to be full
Then rushed to the bathroom
Too controlled by the fool inside you
Because you feel every bite
Leads to a deadly fright
Of adding an inch to your size
When really you’re an inch away
From ending your life

You see lady
That found it a chore to get dressed tonight
Claimed your clothes were too tight
According to the misperceived glare in your eye
Nothing seemed to look right
Is this what you truly see
Or is this the outcome of your corrupt mentality
Swayed by peer pressure and society
Your dietary needs, feeds
On things Obscene
Clings to things that mislead

You see lady
I held onto your tears again
Those depressed droplets of pain
I held out my arms
But you never came
I replied to your resounding plea of “why me?”
I said I’m here to set you free
But you never heard me
Who do you think was responsible?
When you grabbed that full bottle of pills
Ready to end your life of misery
But the bottle was miraculously empty

You see lady
You are beautiful and wonderfully made
By ME
Why would I create something you claim to be ugly?
Instead of clinging to things that mislead
Please cling to ME the UNSEEN
The one that created you and loves you
For YOU
