these girls with their
paper thin skin,
displaying their veins
like a medal
for work well done.
these girls with their
bottle cap wrists,
wearing their hunger
like a badge
of honour.
these girls with their
jutting ribs
and aching stomachs,
wishing they could be
just a bit thinner.
these girls with their
longing hearts,
wasting away
day by day
wishing their lives away.
