Inner battles between mind and self

I look at myself in the mirror,
Always thinking I'll see something different.
But it's always the same...
"You're not skinny enough!" My mind tells me...
"You ate too much today, you need to eat less."
"You're such a disappointment, you can do better!"
"You weigh too much,"
"You're not skinny,"
"You need to be skinny..."
I turn from side to side
Examining myself...
Wondering what's wrong with me?...
"I'll eat less tomorrow" I think to myself.
"I'll try harder!" I promise.
But still, it doesn't matter...
It's never good enough!
I'm never good enough!
"I am a failure."
"I'm worthless."
"I'm fat, ugly, unloved..."
"I don't deserve to live..." I think.
"You're not skinny enough-"
"You're not skinny enough-"
"You'll never be skinny enough!" My mind tells me...
I look at myself and know it's true...
I'm not good enough.
I'll never be good enough...
My mind is right...
I look down in shame,
And wish to myself,
That I was good enough...
