It's been five days
Since I've had a proper meal.
I won't eat.
Those three words don't mean
I won't eat at all,
Only enough so I don't die.
I eat a bowl of fruit and a sandwich everyday.
Lots of beverages!
Don't forget!
I've learned to like the feeling of my empty stomach.
I am now conscious of the feeling of my bones.
It's been five days since I have had a proper meal.
Weird how in so little time I'm already feeling thin.
I don't look different I know, but I feel different.
I know it's not healthy but maybe one more day.
One more day and you might like me.
One more day and you might like me the way you like her.
The tall thin one.
I won't eat
Because you didn't know how much it killed me when you looked at her the way I looked at you.
Maybe next time you see me you'll ask, "how did you do it? What happened?"
And I will simply reply,
I won't eat.
This was written a few months ago, it's irrelevant now, at least for me.
