Body so tea,
yeah, liquid thin.
run your fingers through it before that waist disappears.
Body so tea,
smoking hot,
but it lacks leaves,
lack of essence,
lack of reason to live.
I was munching on them like a grassy cow,
find something in your trash,
hop and maybe lose a pound.
I was drinking that tea,
just to lose this bit,
I want to lose this bit,
drain the fat from me!
Many nights gone starving,
more mornings standing peckish,
my stomach shut down,
what a play, how puckish,
I share my plate while it’s half full,
I used to exchange while I wasn’t full.
Chu chu trains chasing me on the tracks,
chew chew they said to me,
scream thinner ‘til you collapse,
and I know this comes by surprise,
I can see it in your eyes,
you hope it’s all a demise.
But young girls learn to starve,
hope their bone structure changes,
perhaps it’s crazy,
stay small as a child’s.
Fit between a cell’s bars,
and call it an escape,
drown the molecules in water,
water after the baptism,
shame.
Holy like the blood,
it’s not red,
slim as the blade,
it harms them,
two in the morning,
lonely moon’s still out,
ache in the tummy,
mommy feed me now.
Body so tea I wish I could have it,
body so tea I solely dream to wear it.
drink it when it’s cold,
then it doesn’t burn the throat,
hop a little more,
visit the drug store.
