I eat too much.

I'm a blub.

I look like a slob.

I don't cut, the scars are too visible.

I starve myself instead.

It's less noticeable.

"Have you gotten thinner?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"What's your secret?"

"I don't eat."

Poker faces.

Then they laugh, like I said something funny.

I don't.

They leave.

I sit alone and eat cupcakes.

They asked for piece.

I don't share my cupcakes.

It's my favorite snack.

I eat all the four cupcakes.

And I regret.

I sit.

Lunch has passed.

I ate nothing.

Dinner time.

"Honey, want something to eat?"

"No, I'm not hungry."

I'm starving.

My stomach is talking to me.

I don't listen.

I bathe.

I cry.

My eyes are red.

"Look how sleepy you are, must be tired."

"Perhaps."

My stomach starts conversing.

I don't reply.

I pray.

I sleep.

I repeat.
