do you know what it's like?
what it's like to be truly starving?
to wake up in the morning, and immediately dash to your mirror
like it's a door out and your house is on fire?
to pinch your sides and sigh at the ugly person in the silver glass?
do you know what it's like to think "still fat?" over and over and over again?
to have to choose baggy clothes so your parents won't freak?
to skip breakfast, then lunch, then dinner?
what it's like to always feel cold,
and tired,
and sick?
do you know what it's like to face the scariest, most terrifying bit of it all?
do you know what it's like
to love starving?
