My hipbones rock me on the wooden floor  Protruding from my frame  Skin bruises from simply laying on my stomach Yet I am not skinny  red lines mark where the folds of my stomach have been,  my arm like wings  my thighs hugging each other tightly  stretching occasionally my eye catches the reflection of a stick like woman I can't recognize in the dark window until I realize she is me  as that settles in my true details fill in  morphing the strange woman into the ugly that is me.  Striving to become the strange woman that once was  I shove a finger down my throat

My hipbones rock me on the wooden floor  Protruding from my frame  Skin bruises from simply laying on my stomach Yet I am not skinny  red lines mark where the folds of my stomach have been,  my arm like wings  my thighs hugging each other tightly  stretching occasionally my eye catches the reflection of a stick like woman I can't recognize in the dark window until I realize she is me  as that settles in my true details fill in  morphing the strange woman into the ugly that is me.  Striving to become the strange woman that once was  I shove a finger down my throat
