I believe I could shrink
if I tried hard enough
so I must not want to

Somewhere, deep down
or, likely, close to the surface
I am a glutton at heart, at least

So I stay, a stable one hundred and thirty pounds
I've heard a skeleton weights 15 pounds by itself
and the organs add 25 more

I am 90 pounds of something that shouldn't exist
What is the point of wanting to be less?
Why, BMI 20, do people tell me I'm thin?

I don't get it
I can't see it
I am not it

Perception is silly, sometimes
