Pride
Feel your collarbone;
it means progress. You don't want
to ever stop feeling bones.

Vanity
Don't you look pretty
compared to that fat slob you're
staring at? Yourself.

Gluttony
no more strawberries
blueberries, fuckberries: ALL:
give me everything!

Wrath
Violent heaving death:
you deserve the punishment!
Blood, bile, cleaned off smile.

Envy
Every pretty girl
is skinny. "Beautiful?" No,
he'd never mean me.

Sloth
I'm exercising;
not eating.       "IT'S NOT EASY
TO BE THIN LIKE THEM!"


Lust*
I must have it: be
skinny, be skinny; don't eat;
that *has
to be me.
