issa keeps telling me to eat

ofc im gonna listen to her

but I really don't want to

not because i'm not hungry

i'm starving.

but because of what parents say

"just lose some more weight"

"don't you want to have a summer body"

"you're gaining"

"you're losing"

"you are a stick"

"I can see ur bones"

"why don't you eat?"

"how could you be full"

"you're eating all of that?"

"why get so much?"

I just want to live

I wanna eat my favorite foods

and gain more

and be healthy

not say

"no i'm really not hungry"

which is what i'll be saying in lunch

and at dinner

and for breakfast

and for snacks

just like I know I will for the next month

until I finally realize

i'm js a kid

and food is okay

except I have to follow the cycle
