9:00 comes…Let the transformation begin

9:30 comes…Finished purging, to make sure she’s thin

10:30 comes…All her preparations are complete

to make sure that she’s the one who receives the most attention

when she hits the clubs with all her friends

And as long as she feels that it’s working

And this is how it’s supposed to be

Based upon the unwritten laws of society



And my phone doesn’t ring…



She places herself in a world where age is only thought about

If she doesn’t look good in her miniskirt

And men don’t buy her drinks anymore

But “friends” think she’s still attractive enough to bring along

and she doesn’t have to call anyone to go out with her

Because she won’t be alone



So my phone doesn’t ring



Then arrives the day…

9:00 comes…let the transformation begin

9:30 comes…finished purging, to make sure she’s thin

10:30 comes…still waiting for her phone to ring

11:00 comes…in front of her mirror, looks face to face…with herself

sees her reflection, face as pale as death

how many years has she taken off herself

2:00 comes…still drinking… by herself

3:00 comes

…and my phone rings
