Thin Part 1

I look in the mirror, And see the candle I am burning reflected back at me. It opens up the planes of my face that I rarely notice. I look at all the shadow, I twist and turn to see, How the candle in the mirror, Makes everything so diffrent for me. I look back at the mirror, A few months have passed, "It's only 1 more pound, I can lose it in another day," To myself I say. No more little girl in red, A gaunt cheecked woman is in her stead. 75 pounds at age 13, I realize it is me.n e suggestions 4 improvement r strongly requested...
