why can't you see that your dying?
moms getting worried now
they say,
"skip dinner, wake up thinner"
but what if one day i don't wake up?
what if
what if
i die trying to achieve a body that was never meant to be mine
so many years wasted
on being wasted
saving my only calories for alcohol
hoping that being drunk will make me forget about the body i despise
i touch my hip bones, poking through my pants, swearing they were like this before
wondering why i fit in a size 5 when i'm a size 9, not seeing the physical difference
see, the mind can trick us
make us feel like dying is the closet we can get to being alive
but sick girl,
your dying.
one day soon,
you won't
wake up thinner
because you won't wake up
at all.
