I am indifferent to the body in my mirror
The smooth curve of my waist
The sharp edge of my hip bone
The life in my chest
I smile recounting to myself what little I ate
Less than 2000 calories I'm sure
I'm not counting anymore though
I feel guilty for smiling
I tell others to remember to eat
But I don't listen to my own words
I forget sometimes
Other times I just tell myself to forget
One missed meal can't hurt anything
I am disgusted by the brain in this body
It doesn't want me healthy
It looks at girls with skinny thighs
Barely any bust
It wants me to look like them
It wants me to be slim
It wants me to be smaller
Fragile, dainty, weak,
In need of help
Because it needs help
But it doesn't know how to ask anymore
I am unhappy with the progress I've made
I feel myself slipping up
I'm sorry for how I've become

A Fraction of My Thoughts
PoetryI write poems sometimes and I want an outlet to share them to. I hope somebody can relate to them and feel understood when they read them. btw none of them go together, it is all just random stuff that I have written when I need to rant. Enjoy!
