People ask me
How I lost so much weight
And what's my secret
And I just don't have the heart to tell them
That it wasn't healthy eating
Or exercise
It was the fact that for the last year
I've been slowly maintaining myself
On stress and tears
And eating them for every meal
"I'm not okay." That seems to be a mantra to me lately, it's so often on my lips that I may as well have it tattooed there so that I don't have to waste my breath.
