Growth
A dancing child; a ballerina A pirouetting adolescent; an anorexic
A thought inspired by a ghost girl Her bones are weak and malleable and She spends far too long in the bathroom And her heart is stretched thin Feeding her bones and fueling a Love for a toddler in her tiara and Tutu; twirling for a world of maybe A hundred souls A little body moving In time to the rhythm Of a woman far off in her dreams Still years away from the Emaciated young lady More spirit than body Still stretched thin and torn at the seams
