A Letter Unsent

Gemma

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.

    Those letters we write but dare not send are the bleeding of our true selves.
