tw: ed, sh and hair pulling

they are catching on
threatening to send me to doctors
count my calories
and watch me eat.
they are understanding how little
food makes it to my body.
i wonder what other lies they
will find
what happens to the food i do eat,
why my scars aren't white as
they should be by now,
the hair disappearing from my neck.
