I wanted bones. I wanted stick thin wrists and jutting shoulder blades. I wanted ribcage ladders leading to a faltering heart. I wanted to die- But I called it something else. I called it perfect body. I called it finally confident, I called it happy and They called it sick. I challenged them with "willpower" and they threw back "nine months to live if you keep this up."

I Called It Beautiful.
I wanted bones. I wanted stick thin wrists and jutting shoulder blades. I wanted ribcage ladders leading to a faltering heart. I wanted to die- But I called it something else. I called it perfect body. I called it finally confident, I called it happy and They called it sick. I challenged them with "willpower" and they threw back "nine months to live if you keep this up."
Old and unfinished, maybe someday.
