"How are you doing in school?"
"I'm doing alright"
I feel like I'm drowning in a pool
A pool of work
An ocean of opinions
"I'm trying"
"You've gained a couple of pounds...are you limiting yourself?"
"Yes, I have been eating 3 meals a day."
I'm hungry
I'm starving
The 3 crackers I ate today are carving my stomach into what others would pay...for.
"I'm trying"
"Why are you dressed like that?!"
"I just didn't want to dress up today that's all."
The clothes I wear make me invisible
They work as a cloak, and make me feel invincible
Everything is hidden
"I'm trying"
All I can do is try
But when my trying begins to fade
My voice
My hunger
My.... me
Does too
