Once a day
After supper or snacks
I go upstairs to my bathroom
I turn on the faucet
Take the toothbrush in my hand
Once a day
After supper or snacks
I go upstairs to my bathroom
I push the toothbrush down my throat
It hurts
Once a day
After supper or snacks
I would go upstairs to my bathroom
I could feel the burn
Build up in my gut
Go past my chest
Through what seemed to be my heart
It hurt as it went through my body and out my mouth
The pain spreading like wildfire
The kind that stops just as fast as it starts
Once a day
After supper or snacks
I would go upstairs to my bathroom
Look myself in the mirror
Wishing I could cut off the ugly parts
Once a day
At school and at recess
She would play
Not with toys
With the feelings I had
And the feelings I didn't want
I loved her
But
She loved other
Skinnier girls
"Maybe I'm not enough for her
Or maybe I'm too much"
-C.M Hinton
