This is a Human AU, about anorexic Pearl. (You know, how she doesn't like eating? I feel like that would transfer over to human her)
Guilt was familliar
familliar still
it held against her will
her will to eat
first felt the guilt of eating her lunch
told her to stop
to follow her hunch
That her thighs were too big
Stomach too fat
And all of the rolls that formed when she sat
So a decision was made
a treaty
a pact
Stop eating and that will get rid of your fat
So she obliged
and started the lies
the lies not to eat
Right up til she dies
Then she wrote the anthem, the anthem began,
Beauty is only bone deep.
So then it began.
It all started slowly
oozing
Not enough to notice.
Just one skipped meal,
A serving less
I've already eaten, were lies at best.
Yet soon it grew
it grew
it grew
It engulfed
it controled
It drove her.
Told her the anthem
the anthem that sang,
Beauty is only bone deep.
She wakes up from a painful sleep,
Hunger calls out 'let us eat'
But we can't.
Must stay strong
All night long
Beauty is only bone deep.
Thin is the goal,
Thin is the goal,
Beauty is only bone deep.
To starve a night or three
Just let me be
I can take care of myself
Dont need
You watching over me.
Roses fail to try and coax her
Tender touches and encouraging words
Can hardly be heard
over the sound
of how much she hates
Her body
Her mind
Her life
Shouting out the much repeated phrase,
Beauty is only bone deep.
10 pounds later; lighter; she still
Starves herself against her will
force does nothing, neither bribe
Will this young girl, premature die?
The bones pop out
her skin hollow
Face is carved out, white as snow
She labours to breath, and breathes so softly
As if death is at touch
He won't let her sleep.
But one can change
For the better
Make better choices, in the latter
Though started out small
And scarce to none,
Soon grew larger
Stronger
Fuller
And yet she still goes hungry
Just a little bit
She thrives, not anymore
Stricken to hunger
And though the phrase still lingers
it
has little meaning.
She now knows,
that beauty is not bone deep.
