tw: brief mentions of disordered eating & calories, bullying

i just want to feel pretty
so i'll pick at my face until long after it's begun to bleed
i'll smile until i don't know what smiling's even supposed to mean
i'll restrict my opinions and my calories
i'll laugh at every joke until my lungs ache terribly
even when i know the jokes are meant to mock me
because i truly can't help myself, the desire to feel pretty has been consuming me
