More you might like
Her protruding hip bones
And ribs
Show a little more every time
She breathes in
Her arms are weak and numb
From exercise
Her stomach is in pain
Not from a stomach ache
But from
Not eating in 3 days
Except 6 Ritz crackers for
Breakfast and
A few bites of dinner
She wants to eat but
She is to afraid of weight gain
To afraid of looking ugly
To look like the girl
She once was
She pokes at her fat
And her hatred for herself grows
She wants it
To be small
And beautiful
Her lover says she’s pretty to him
But she denies his words of
Honesty
Her friends say she’s a healthy weight
But she strives to be
underweight
Her parents say she’s beautiful
But she can’t seem to
Cling on to the
Thought
That she’s worth anything
She wants to see bones
A space
A gap if you will
Between her thighs
She wants boney fingers
And slim arms
She wants to see her ribs
She’s determined
To be the girl she has always
Wanted to be
Every morning she’ll weigh herself
To see
If she has gotten smaller
If she don’t like
The number on the scale
She’ll starve herself till there
Is literally
No tomorrow
