I looked at myself in the mirror. Still too big. I picked at my medical gown, the rough, papery material crinkling at my movements.  Filtered light shines down on my hair turning it a greyish yellow, instead of the regular blonde it was. Bags under my eyes framing dark circles  hang beneath brown eyes that once held life. A thin neck, delicate collar bones. Pulling back the gown 
'did these even count as clothes?', I thought 
I can see my ribs, count them

 'Still not perfect'
I am a husk of a human with bird like arms, waiting to carry me away
