A Letter Unsent

Dear mum, 

I swear I\'m not crazy. 

Just hollow.

Crazed for hunger. 

Crazed for perfection.

I\'m sorry mum if I ever hurt you.

If it ever hurt to look at me 

Pale face and hollow cheeks.

Eating less and losing more. 

Yet you never suspected 

Since I had no scars to show it. 

I\'m so sorry mummy. 

But I\'m happier. 

I\'m calories

weight

sweat 

tears.

Falling

Sinking

Drowning.
