By thirteen years old, you were counting calories
By fifteen, you were eating none
You were losing weight, month by month
Puking until you felt numb
A look in the mirror
Was a look in the eyes
Of something destructive;
The wrong size
Clutching your love handles
Replacing love with hate
Regretting anything and everything
That you ever ate
Counting each rib
Every time you got the chance
This delirious disease
Has caught you in a trance
You say "I'm okay"
When you're really not
You starved yourself
And it's hard to talk
You feel proud of yourself
For doing what you wanted
When the only thing you should be feeling
Is boundlessly haunted
Ready to go out tonight
"I hope I look okay"
But you don't
Not today
Your face is just a skull
Your body a skeleton
You think you can hide it
But it is evident
Your friends don't realize it
But you're slowly decaying
How could they not see
The sight you're displaying?
It is engraved in your mind
That you have to look perfect
Like the supermodels you see
But is your life worth it?
You don't want to see curves
You want to see bone
Because having skin
Is fat alone
Disappointed that all your clothes
Are not size zeros
You feel destroyed
Like you look like hippos
Believe it or not
I think you look great
You should love your body
Not hate
It's time to take a chance
And love yourself
You look fine
Even in size one-twelve
Throw away those razors
Bring in the food
You look beautiful
In the ****
I love every part of you
Because you are special
From your face to your feet
And every vessel
You are okay
You will recover
Your body looks great
Naked or covered
You are beautiful
Let nobody tell you unlike
You are special
So shine in the sunlight
not my best but hey, inspiration!!
