Anorexia

A slab a meat

Three spoonfuls of rice

A pile of beans

Yeah that sounds alright

A healthy meal

Upon my plate

That was the last time

I truly ate

After that meal

I looked in the mirror

And on that day

It couldn’t be clearer

I wanted to be skinny

I wanted to be thin

And this is when

My anorexia journey begins

The next day

At the table

I said I wasn’t hungry

My mom said you have to eat

Or your gonna be weak

And my joke wasn’t funny

But what she didn’t understand

Was that it wasn’t a joke

My stomach is rumbling

But my mind says nope

And I’m not trying

To grab for the rope

Just one bite

Seems too much

Maybe a sip of water

Wil be enough

I don’t want to be fat

I want to be pretty

And the only way I can do that

Is to be skinny
