skin and bones
what i wish to be
what i'm starting to become
thats what i'm turning into
as the dread begins to set in
as i begin to realize what i am doing
i realize i can't stop

pounds dropping like flies
feeling drained all the time
a constant calculator whirring in my mind
conscious of every bite
aware of every activity i do
always counting
adding
subtracting
from my daily calorie count

i love drinking cold water on an empty stomach
you can feel it flowing down your throat
as it assures you that your stomach
is indeed empty
the water comforts you and
all your worries
all your sorrows
the cold, cold water washes them all away
