It wasn't supposed to happen like this...Fighting the hole within
Hunger burns into her stomach walls
Itching to be fed
Nothing can solve the need
She won’t give in
Not now
Her brain tells her,
She’s won control
Banishing the hunger
Vanishing the need Refusing to surrender
The mirror repeats otherwise
Screaming for her to admit defeat
Ribs protruding from her abdomen
The pelvic bone jagged and sharp
Her hair frail and thin
Facial expressions of triumph reign over her face
Signaling the joy of her skeletally bony figure
But her eyes,Crystalline and blue,
Reveal the truth
The anger and waves dissatisfaction that shroud her in clumps
The public whispers otherwise
They smile at the slender little girl
Speaking with kindness to the petite girl
Never understanding what she feels
They tell her she’s pretty
Thin and small
They tell her they’re envious
They inform her that beauty is thin
These words only encourage her
Egging her on
Making her go farther
Till she can’t go no more
It wasn't supposed to happen this way...
