Sweet Emma May has gone away
No good searching you won’t find her today!
Gone and no one knows where
And in truth not one of them gives a care.
Life got too hard for Emma May
Her lonely struggle every day.
At work she was friendly but quiet
A pretty girl but always on a diet.
All her life sweet Emma May
Had struggled with the weight that would not go away
People always teased her with names
At school she was taunted and shunned from games.
Boys and Men used sweet comely Emma May
She was good for a fuck but they always walked a way.
They did not want to take her out where they’d been seen
But in her room , the office or car they appeared so keen.
Binge eating always comforted sweet Emma May
But the guilt made her sick and she’d flush it all away.
No one knew that she was so ill or that she had hidden cuts
Cuts that bled and took the pain away from her soul and guts.
Tired and lonely Emma May took the razor and cut too deep
She did not stop the blood , she was too tired, she went to sleep.
Lonely sweet Emma May from sleep to death slipped away.
Her little body in a pool of blood was found the next day.
Sweet Emma May has gone away
No good searching you won’t find her today!
Gone and no one knows where
And in truth not one of them gives a care.

Yes Paul it is a sad indictment that men and woman strive so hard to be the perfect size and have that perfect look that they harm themselves and even kill themselves! Thank you for reading Paul .xxxx

Thank you I just wish we could do something about these poor girls and boys who have been conditioned that they must be the body beautiful.

Thank you I am sure you do care, it is just so sad that young men and women put themselves under so much pressure to look the look.

Indeed it is. If society wouldn’t push the image of slim is being beautiful, our children wouldn’t have to contend with such nonsense. They need to be taught self-love. The Barbie and Twiggy figure is such a myth. It takes all sizes, shapes, and colors to create beauty! Blessings and peace!
Mar 19, 2015 @ 18:43:19
I completely agree, blessing and peace to you too! xx
