"thinner" poems
Pretty little iris ****** white sclera Despite those tempting lashes Her lies are getting clearer Come a little closer Squeeze a little tighter She's squinting a little thinner But her pupils are getting wider She wants your focus now Don't trust those golden eyes It only takes a little peek To fall for those gorgeous lies

These Eyes Tell Lies
there was a slice of chocolate cake in the fridge and my sister asked me if i wanted it. i didn't respond, stared off into space and continued to smoke my cigarette in the kitchen because mom was asleep already and it was 1 am on a saturday in july and it was hot and we were both braless and hoping the single fan on the counter would circulate the air enough to make us comfortable in the cottage that we called home that didn't have air conditioning in the middle of the woods. the three of us hadn't moved for three more hours, instead spent all of that time talking about nothing and everything the way sisters do because sisters eventually end up saying all the words that have to be said but each time it sounds new even though it never is. we're all different but the thing about sisters is that other people always see you as the same. we all eventually grew into having brown hair even though i had been born a redhead and she had been born blond and she had been born the same shade of brunette that still graced her scalp but was thinner than the rest of ours and fit in an elastic pony tail comfortably unlike mine, which broke those things immediately and she, who cut hers all off in hopes to cleanse herself and keep herself from being weighed down.

Sisterhood
there are some who want a thinner waist and others who just don't like the taste of food they feel they do not deserve some eat cake with their eyes while others are busy planning their demise one wants to see bones, another, headstones one could love themselves if they were just 40 pounds thinner "maybe i'll love myself if i just skip dinner" the other has no appetite, a battle with calories she does not fight a battle, rather, with herself to **** herself or stay in living hell too preoccupied to care what is on the pantry shelf there are some who want a thinner waist and others who just don't like the taste of food they feel they do not deserve

the two types of anorexics
She’s prettier , she’s skinner , she’s thinner , she’s more flawless, she’s this she’s that she’s everything that I can’t ever be… Alright stop! why are you comparing yourself to someone else out there? You’re beautiful in your own way and you better believe it. I know somewhere out there someone is going to make you believe it one day. Don’t be insecure about yourself because everyone is different and face the fact that they aren’t you. Stop comparing yourself and believe that the person in the mirror you see everyday is beautiful. There shouldn’t be a thing you should change, appreciate what you look like because the more you start to believe it the less insecure you’ll start being. Don’t let someone else’s words bring you down. They can tell you that you’re ugly or fat or anything negative. Just drop it because they’re only trying to bring you down and make you feel even more insecure. You should always be the bigger person and ignore it because once you start listening the more you’ll feel insecure and you’ll always start to believe it. God made everyone differently and you came out that way now stop trying to change the originality of who you are from what society wants you to be looking like. You’ll always be beautiful the way you are.

believe youre beautiful
The day I met Ana Is the day I died. They day I met Ana I thought I would survive. 20 pounds to go. To look like a pro Ten pounds to go Are my bones starting to show. 500 the first 400 the next The calories went down like the fat on my chest. I started to feel dizzy. Empty inside. I started to feel happy Thinner with more pride. One bone here. Another bone there. My heart was stopping. It couldn't be more clear. But Ana loves me. She'll never stray. No matter how many go, I know she's here to stay. It might cost me health. It might cost me my life. But id rather die than be fat. Skinny is my dream tonight.

The Day I Met 'Ana' (anorexia)
This poem was written after watching a few hours of slam poetry on Youtube. Let me know what you think...it's my first shot at slam poetry. There are so many words flowing around out there about the big girls. The thick girls, the curvy girls, the p-h-a-t phat girls. About their plush and soft exteriors, their abundant backsides, their willingness to accept themselves and their hopefulness that others will do the same. Their….thereness. They are beautiful, don’t get me wrong. They are beautiful. But what about the skinny girls? The small girls with petite builds and large hearts and an aversion to the word short. The size two and under girls, the drive thru can’t gain a pound girls, the I AM NOT ANNOREXIC OR BULLEMIC girls. The girls who will always be referred to as “pixie-like” or “waif-like” or “twig-like.” The perfect model body girls that all of the other girls hate…because of their lack of fat. Aren’t they beautiful? The girls with the size 32 bust line, the girls who, at 24, still shop in the junior sections of department stores. The girls who, regardless of their age, their strengths and weaknesses, their experiences, heartaches and joys, disappointments and triumphs, their want or need for life and love will always look like they missed a meal or gave it back purposefully with the intent of becoming even thinner. The girls who, no matter how ******* HARD they try, cannot even weigh 100 lbs soaking ******* wet. Aren’t they beautiful? The big girls have to search and search for cute and **** and attractive clothes because of their size. Guess what? So do the skinny girls. Do you know ******* hard it is to find a pair of pants with a size zero waist and a 34 inch leg? To finally find an extra small shirt that doesn’t have one of the top three cartoon characters of the time plastered across the front? All I’m saying is yes, the thick girls, the curvy girls, the p-h-a-t phat girls… They are beautiful. But ****** so am I.

A man I once loved told me he wished I “cared more about my body” But I do care I care for every lump and curve as much as I hate them As much as he hated them I remember yearning for puberty A thing to make me tall And thin A biological fix for my PROBLEMATIC BODY Does he know the history? The gain and loss The bullies The pushed-into-puddles The nightmares I despise the power of his lips A lover disfigured That’s the vibe His words birthing a mantra of shame And I’ll never outrun this skin Thirty years later And he’s pushing me into a lake No principal to save me this time No dry clothes He left me years ago Found a much thinner replacement for my side of the bed It’s for the best I tell myself as I drunkenly throw rocks at his window “Don’t think Just eat” Is this just a game I play? Three glasses of whiskey and a Postmate Won’t chase the horror away Momentary pleasure (add guacamole) Is that enough? Will I ever be enough? No I am too much Too much skin Too much softness Too many folds Too much of me is filling up space That’s what they tell me I see the reflection and I hate all of this excess ME “I wish you cared more about your body” What is the remedy? A perfect diet A perfect exercise regimen Pills Sweat Porcelain Think before you speak on a body, sir Because your words alone Have the power to ignite a hell Of The Utmost Destruction His venom is still pulsing through me And I’m burning up I want to escape Crawl out from the water Become pure wind But how do I love me? How do I allow myself to occupy space? To stop hiding from every mirror, every glance at the ocean of my belly? I don’t know I’m not there yet I am on an opposite shore consumed by self-hatred Longing to set sail for somewhere Somewhere I can cherish the secrets that these sacred ripples of flesh hide Where my waistline is a treasure map of my wisdom A place where his words have no power Where I collapse into the sunset and set myself...

Everything is so tight. Jeans, leggings, dresses, shirts, skirts, jackets and summer wear is even worse and more revealing with crop tops, shorts, and even shorter skirts and dresses. How are we all able to breathe? Victorian fashion had corsets and those made them faint! So why does the fashion have to be tight? Don't get me wrong, I do like skinny jeans, and tight shirts and dresses I am a girl after all, we all give in to the status quo of fashion at times. But, sizes are even smaller now than they were before. I haven't gained or lost weight, my waist size hasn't changed, nothing has. Except for the clothes. Are we trying to make women smaller and thinner by just shrinking the clothes? It should not be ¨Survival of the fittest¨ in the dressing rooms. That isn't cool. Also, why are the pants so short? I have long legs, okay, and because my waist size matches someone who is smaller than me then that must mean that I am short according to clothes. Therefore I have difficulty finding pants that fit my waist and my legs. I am not blind to my surroundings. Every single girl Goes. Through. This. We all have shopping woes, some worse than others. We all gain uncomfortable experiences whether it be from something not fitting, or from the attention on the streets that we get for wearing it. Then of course, don't forget the media! Remember all those pictures of perfect people being shoved down our throats strangling us until we accept the fact that we should be just like them. Suffocation is the latest fashion, and we are expected to wear it well.

What is beauty? Growing up I was told lighter skin, bigger eyes, smaller nose thinner lips, straight black hair thin body, smaller frame smaller shoe size There was no embracing of my brown skin, almond-shaped eyes longer nose, fuller lips, wavy voluminous hair thick thighs, larger frame not size 6 shoes No celebration of my own beauty what forms and defines me until now. I choose to not be the subject of another’s judgement of what is considered beautiful or not to be molded into what is acceptable and approved by my culture, my society, people around me I choose myself my uniqueness and my acceptance of myself just as I am is true beauty.

What is beauty?
I was told I was fat. Shamed for my body, called names and all that. I learnt to hate myself by them at that time. They made me feel like being a little curvy was a crime. So I started working on getting thinner, not for health or fitness though. But because I thought that way I would be loved and accepted more. I finally did become slimmer and i was happy. I slowly started to regain the confidence that they had mercilessly stolen from me. And just as it started getting a tad bit better, I was shamed for being short. Couldn't they just let me live my life in peace or what?! They crushed the little confidence i had gotten back. Again in their stupid circle of high expectations and "physical beauty is true beauty" I was trapped. I worked on getting taller everyday. Crying myself to sleep when nothing worked at the end of the day. And so they taught me time and time again to hate my body. And I know I did, I am so sorry. They said my acne was ugly and it needed to be hidden. Going anywhere without makeup or not dressing girly enough was forbidden. "No do not sit like that, talk like this, wear this not that, always smile." They said these horrible things and silly me, I actually listened for a while. But one day I decided I did not care. So what if I didn't have what they called the "perfect figure" or the nicest hair? I loved myself and that was it. I was beautiful whether or not they believed it. It was not an easy fight. But I think I did alright. They still say things all the time. But I've grown to listen to just one voice, mine.

I got a couple dents in the fender Of my ****** car, A couple rips in my best pair Of my cheap jeans. My scuffed up high tops Are wearing thin, Imperfection is my New best friend. My favorite t-shirt has A couple of holes, And my wallet's thinner than My shoe's soles. The scars on my skin Are bright and white. Imperfection is my New best friend. The streets of my ghetto Are graffitied and dark, And the knives in our pockets Always stay sharp. Though my best has a couple Of nicks and cracks. Imperfection is my New best friend.

Imperfection Is My New Best Friend
In the last hour I dealt with a lot My own definition of why I look dour Memories I hid six feet under the ground Came emerging, grasping, and clawing at me 'till I'm found Saying what's good for me, but my thoughts aren't considered Ignored by a mother, a father, a neglected child A child that mimicked Rapunzel locked up in a tower A child that had gotten their smile devoured Each day they get thinner, all hopes get hindered Clouded thoughts, faded scars, and their music gets louder A habit to cloak emotions, not being able to shed a tear Refraining from going to beer, avoiding others out of fear Consolation comes through rose lenses, A gun held to their head but not packed with powder

Conflicted
If I was thinner, this world would love me more; But I eat too much dinner, and I'm a bore. If I had more courage, I'd have more friends, But that on my attractiveness depends. If I was different, I'd appease society; But this is me. And honestly I'm at the point where I'm not looking to please.

If I Was Different
I don't know man. It just has been different lately, you know? No not really. What do you mean? Like, explain it. Okay so you know how you do it and you feel everything dissolve? You know? And that warm fuzzy light fills you up and the back of your head sags all the way to the floor? You know how you can't stop smiling? How nothing matters because everything is going to be chill in the end? You know? Yeah? So what's the issue? Well recently, and I mean very recently, I just got this feeling. This ******* feeling for two hours and all I want is for it all to be over. The thing is - I know that everything is fine. That it's all chill and that I'm just geeking out, but still, the way it makes me feel. I can't do that anymore. How the hell does it make you feel dude? Jesus can we get to the point sometime soon? Right, my bad. It's my heart first. I feel my heart going at a thousand ******* miles a minute but when I check my pulse or heart beat - everything is normal. But still I feel it in my chest yapping like a dog at the front door and I can't convince myself that this is chill. Then it's my chest. You know how Jesus died of suffocation on the cross? I thought they stabbed him before they suffocated? Whatever, you know what I mean, how people on crosses couldn't breathe because of their arms and lungs and chest or whatever? Well I get this feeling that my chest is thinner than a sheet of printer paper. That every single time that I inhale it's never enough. Then I get this electricity in the back of my head. It creeps up from my sternum, through my throat and then to my brain stem. Like an itch you can't ******* scratch no matter how many layers of skin you go through? Jesus dude. Then I convince myself that I can't move my right hand. Convince myself I'm partially paralyzed. Only I'm watching my right hand move. But I feel like it has to be an illusion, because how the hell am I moving a paralyzed hand? It's all gotten so ******* twisted that I don't know which sense I can trust. Well are you sure that that's the reason? Why don't you take a small geeb or something? For the sake of the scientific method? Listen to me you fool. There is no method to this. Just madness. But I suppose, in the name of fairness, I should do some more research. Maybe just this one last time. Just to be sure. Exactly... So you wanna smoke some **** Yes. I want to smoke some **** Just for science and all that. I kinda have to. It'd be unamerican to not smoke, right? Right.

A handy Mole who plied no shovel To excavate his vaulted hovel, While hard at work met in mid-furrow An Earthworm boring out his burrow. Our Mole had dined and must grow thinner Before he gulped a second dinner, And on no other terms cared he To meet a worm of low degree. The Mole turned on his blindest eye Passing that base mechanic by; The Worm entrenched in actual blindness Ignored or kindness or unkindness; Each wrought his own exclusive tunnel To reach his own exclusive funnel. A plough its flawless track pursuing Involved them in one common ruin. Where now the mine and countermine, The dined-on and the one to dine? The impartial ploughshare of extinction Annulled them all without distinction.

A Handy Mole
The light tail of the tail light leaves me blue in the dark hues … when it carries away what I belong to… Unfolding the tar-black sky of asphalt, the longest arm of missing you… My body is now the distance between us, big and empty, The bigger, the emptier, thinner than air… As time piles up, my ladders turn into pointless meters Measuring the ratio of nothing in everything

Shadow Spill
Each night I lie myself to sleep. Everything will be alright. Each night I count rocky mountain sheep, And wake up in the morning bright. Each dawn I drink coffee with cream, Two teaspoons of sugar or three. Each dawn I live the american dream, In my little house by the sea. Each morn I ride into the city To teach the new generation. Each morn I make myself look pretty, To gain a mans affection. Each noon I head to the bookstore, Eat a late lunch at the cafe. And each noon I lay on my wood floor, Making a small paper bouquet. Each evening I cook myself a small dinner. Dessert made with chocolate and powdered sugar. Each evening I consider getting thinner, And every time, to myself I snicker. Now each night I sing my love to sleep. I hold him close to my own delight. Now each night we count rocky mountain sheep. and we wake up every morning in the bright.

Each night
By herself in the dark with nothing at heart, being so smart only plays a small part. Take it back to start and place your mark on the people, the faces, the parties, the places. Tighten up your laces, we got a few more bases but she's stuck in that stasis. Memories fade like a fragrance so of course the pain gets too much to handle. Too much flame and not enough candle. Burn bright and burn hot for everything we've fought. All that you've sought is the only thing I've got. *Beyond an open book they're just pages on the floor, you can give 'em a look if you know what you're searching for there's a fine line between flowing and bleeding, an even thinner one between knowing and believing and **** near none at all between showing and deceiving* Every rose has its thorn but she's just a dandelion so I blew her mind to watch her thoughts start flying. It's all water under the bridge now, but I'll throw you off and burn that bridge down. I don't want you to drown... just want to see if your ability to sink or swim kicks in. I only took your breath away to watch you suffocate, but I keep hearing you wheezing like your barely even breathing. So deceiving, are you walking away? Or just leaving? Forever is the word he tagged on the walls in her mind, so she walked those halls with a bucket of paint thinner and hand full of time. Her walls are too thick too strong with all that brick maybe a lil acid will do the trick. But he only came equipped with some elbow grease and lil bit of spit... The voice in his head whispered "Now get to work kid" So he did; and never learned when to quit.

Walls in the Halls

Maybe we should sympathize with the tiny waisted girls that cake their face with a layer of colorful protection that wear jeans tighter than the sealed bottle of meds they take to stay skinny. They cheat their way to the idea of beauty its true. Pills to take away the fat, painting their face to attract the opposite *** Cloths that might as well be a thinner second layer of skin. Its disgusting, what we consider beautiful It's sad that girls aspire to achieve it. Its sad that some do. I envy maybe, their happiness, but what if its not real? What if secretly they feel as we do the "average" crowd they are "forced" to coexist with I do wonder, but then and ice cold snarl from perfect straight white teeth hits me in the face burns my retina and forces me give an equally evil shot from my painfully normal features. And I am reminded of the god awful truth. They do not wonder what we think, as if we were a separate species, they look more alien than we. God made man in his image and I'm almost positive he didn't look like plastic. They desire to look like the air brushed figures seen in magazines Something only wishes can achieve. Something only paper thin models on paper can look like. Something only a computer can achieve. Its sad. I do not envy them.

Barbies Thoughts
It's not OCD I'm just anal-rententive. There are two coffee urns in my office kitchenette. Each urn has a spot to place your mug beneath the spigot. Each of these spots has a circular insert of gridded plastic to mark the mug-placement area and allow spilled coffee to flow through so this spot doesn't become just a puddle of coffee soaking the bottom of everyone's mugs. Each of these inserts has three indentations: one on each side at nine and three o'clock small, arcing parabolas like reversed parentheses there to allow someone to get their fingers into the coffee mug spot and under the insert to remove it and, presumably clean it and then another indentation more like a groove or a notch much smaller, thinner, and deeper at the top that fits perfectly with a matching small plastic protuberance jutting from the coffee mug spot where the insert goes. In an almost ****** fashion this protuberance fits into this last indentation this notch this groove to secure the insert in place. For some reason I've never known perhaps laziness perhaps inattentiveness more likely simple couldn't-care-less-ness this insert never seems to be placed into the mug spot properly. It is always placed sideways rotated a quarter-turn so that the larger indentations on the side meant as finger holes are placed top-to-bottom noon and six the small plastic protuberance at the top being swallowed whole by the too-large indentation and its mate the groove meant to hold the plastic piece so tightly is left alone to one side empty and useless. This has always bothered me. Bothered me more than I would like to admit. It's such a simple little thing to get right it would take almost no effort at all and yet, day-after-day someone I don't know who whoever is in charge of these things insists on doing it wrong. And I cannot abide it. So, day-after-day when I go to get my morning coffee I fix it I twist the insert ninety-degrees and secure it in the correct position. Lately I have noticed something. Sometimes when I go to get my coffee one of the inserts will already be fixed. Someone else has seen what I have seen and felt the same had the same response took the same corrective action. This feels like winning something. I don't know what but it definitely smells like Victory. And Conspiracy. And it makes me happy. Happier than I'd like to admit.

I have just met you, and have already judged myself for you. Should I be thinner for you?  I have just met you, and have already become addicted. Should I give up on you? I dont feel adequate. I dont feel worthy. To tell the truth, I want to be more. I want to be more than just a common harlot I want to be important to you.  I want to have *** with my Lover. Not my **** buddy.  I need rough coitus, And heartwarming cuddles. I need all that you are.

More
I used to love my curves. My plump hips, My thick thighs, My ***** chest, My chubby cheeks. All the curves, stretch marks, and the lumps, Especially my lumps, Made me. And I loved me. Until I met you. When we first met, you worshiped my curves. Kissed on my chest, Gripped my thighs. You used to say, “I love my baby’s fat *** As you would squeeze my thighs and I would laugh. But then reality decided; “Babe you should really workout some” *** I really think you should lose some weight” Or you would talk of other girls, Thinner girls. “Country girls are so hot” “I saw this girl today at work and she was **** So now I’m looking in a mirror. In my black sports bra And my mixed match pink underwear. All I see looking back, is not my plump hips, My thick thighs, My ***** chest Or my chubby cheeks, Not even my lumps, Hell, especially my lumps. I see my belly overflow the hem of my underwear, I see my ******* resting on my stomach, I see the extra skin around my neck, And I notice the way my stomach jiggles when I walk. The sound of my feet hitting the ground, The way things vibrate around me when I walk, My shortness of breath uphill, And the way my thighs touch each other instead of having that gap. That cute gap. That gap that skinny girls have. But now, I cover myself more. The curvy girl who used to wear crop tops confidently, Now wears a hoodie to hide. Secretly apologizing to everyone who ever saw her curves. Her plump hips. Her thick thighs. Her ***** chest. Apologizing to everyone whoever saw, Her. And I compare myself to every girl around me. ‘If I had her legs’ ‘Her stomach’ ‘Her face’ Maybe, Just maybe, You would be saying, “Nerdy girls are hot” Or bragging to your friends “I have this girl and she’s so **** And maybe, Just maybe, You would still be here. And I would laugh, Smile, And blush And we would be happy. Together. But instead, I’m looking at this mirror, And all I see Is a fat girl Looking back at me.
