Obsession

by bri-1

The obsession you have with the size of your hips. They should be smaller, Don't you think? Oh, and be sure to do whatever it takes to have that thigh gap. It's so worth it. That thigh gap. The more space the better. The emptiness of your body. The jutting collar bones. Feeling dizzy. Feeling depressed. Worth every inch lost off your waist. It is worth your once full and lushious hair now falling out like dead leaves. Because you're dying. You are killing yourself. But it's all fine. You're obsessed with telling yourself that it's all under control. Isn't it? Theres no sleep at night. Not when your anxiety is this intense. Not when your up planning how to skip the rest of the weeks meals. Use that time to be productive. Like right now. Lying awake... obsessing. Obsessing. Obsessing. But it's s all fine, right? Because that thigh gap. And bony fingers. You're deliriously falling over every damn time you stand, and you think it's all still fine now? You think it's still worth it? Isn't it?
