Melondy: Issues of Adolescence Series

Trick Or Treat? 

    gotta compete, so cheat

    do it in a heartbeat, so bittersweet

thinwithin

    and without? oh, so I wish

    stomach, better bypass that dish

PERMANENT WEIGHT CONTROL

    such a dreamy illusion

    but all these diets? just adding to my
       confusion

THE ENORMOUS SHADOW

    of the monster inside

    perhaps starving will make it hide?

THE LOVELY BONES

    so beautiful just beneath my skin

    but I’ve got so far to go, to be perfect and thin

Take Big Bites

    what’s the point in resisting?

    ya, what’s really my point for existing?

DYING FOR CHANGE

    dying for sure

    but do I care for a cure?

BODY-FAT BREAKTHROUGH

    they say my mind’s askew

    just because I binge then refuse fondue?

LOSING IT

    ya, they’re losing control

    how’s it feel? losing the right to your own soul?

DIET AND DISEASE

    problem, problem, I’m the problem says their expertise

    why don't you just leave me alone . . .  please

    of coarse! she is so fair

    but why, do tell, is she so rare?

THE HOLLOW MAN 

    oh, you mean the one inside

    the one deep within me, trying to hide?

Beauty from the Sea 

    from the sea, the sea, 

    the deep sea I can’t see inside of me?

secrets of health & beauty

    secrets, ah yes, my secrets you want to know

    you say release my secrets and my beauty will show?

Life Mask

    fairest, fairest, the fairest one of all

    life is not the fairest, but unmasks the beauty behind the walls
