Eat,
my mother demands.
You have to,
They say.
You need protein,
Vitamins,
Minerals,
They say.
But I'll get fatter,
I'll get uglier,
And I'll get sadder.
Take your medicine,
My mother demands.
You have to,
They say,
You need
Treatment,
You'll get better.
But I'll get numb,
I'll get sleepy,
And I'll get nervous.
But I pretend,
I smile,
I laugh,
I interact.
I bite,
I chew,
I finish my plate.
Later,
I cut,
And purge.
But,
no one knows.
No one,
But me.
And I can't stop;
Ana will be mad.
Mia's always watching.
And Mia will tell Ana.
And Ana
Will make me
Starve.
Starve,
Bitch,
Starve.
