All body types are beautiful.
Just....
not on me.

And it seems like your lips
whisper...
passing along your ideas on my "health"

Can you understand the way
I cringe...
the way my stomach rolls and screams...
when you try to force your "Good Intentions",
down my throat?

I don't understand the way you think.
I just want to be beautiful.
I just want to be adored.
I just want to perfect.

...Is that so wrong?

WELL

For your information,
I think being thin is beautiful.
I believe hip bones, ribs, spines...
they are meant to be shown.
I love myself when I am this way.
And if you'll never understand,
then I guess I've chosen the wrong
friends.

Because no matter how many calories
I drop.
No matter how many meals
I skip.
I am happy.

You shouldn't try to change me.
You should know that's something,
only I can do.
Eating disorders are a sad thing, but sometimes it feels like it the only thing making you happy.
