Poetry: Drop dead gorgeous

Put one foot on, then the other
Watch the needle swinging higher
Though she knows it's pointing lower
Than it ever did before.

So she steps down, inside crying
Cause she knows she could be dying
Yet still she keeps on trying
Though she's down to one-oh-four.

And she knows she could be ill
But she's proud of her strong will
She doesn't feel the pangs of hunger
That she used to feel before.

As she turns to face the mirror
Knows the truth could not be clearer
As she mounts the faded bathroom scale
Upon the bathroom floor.

    Oh my God, I can't even speak
    My mouth is dry and I can't move my feet
    Two seconds ago I was doing just fine
    But this vixen

    She going to be drop dead gorgeous
    and she's going up town
    She's going to find a man
    If there is a man to be found.
