you look happy even though your face is caving in

"being small is freedom" you tell me

as if its the truth and as if its healthy

you tell me you havent eaten in forever

tell me the hunger is better than eating 

that after awhile you dont even feel it anymore

it makes me think maybe i could have it

the flatness that seems to encompass your being

flat tummy flat chest flat backside flat everything

you tell me its a diet, youre not anorexic

like people who are are crazy

yet youre starving yourself and that

sounds a lot like anorexia to me

and youve got the skinny to prove it
