ive always been insecure
but not like this
never like this
it was kind of a gradual thing
i slowly noticed it
the girls grew taller
the collarbones sharper
and everything about me
stayed short and covered
and then i ate less
and less
and less
until i ate almost nothing at all
but still i stayed the same
and all the other girls
lost their weight
and i want to be thin
like paper
id like to slip through cracks
and disappear altogether
paper thin
