Mellifluous Vignettes

Don't See, Don't See

Dark and twisted minds

Clamoring voices, screaming for the

Same. Damn. Thing.

Skinny, Skinny, Let ME be skinny

They grab for that spiders thread,

When their shaking legs are

Just as thin,

Dismorphia makes them see

Their nightmare,

Don't gain, Don't gain

Watching friends fall,

Watching full plates washed away,

I can't watch anymore

Than I can look away,

Their mantra

Repeated in the background,

Don't eat, Don't eat

Lack of food,

Three days and you call it strong?

Your bruises come from every touch,

You fall to bony knees

After your thin legs snap,

Tempted by an apple,

Original sin

Don't binge, Don't binge

When everyone's gone

All you can hold is porcelain,

Fingers down your throat

Are you proud?

There goes all of the above

The voice pushes you

Purge, Purge

Poor little girl,

Living on diet coke and cigarettes,

Does the burning

Make you feel alive?

Running for hours,

Does your mother know

Her baby's starving?

Further, Further

Don't give me those glares,

I know what I am

In control of,

Myself may not be one of them,

I watch their skeletons dance,

Pushing others away,

Pulling them close,

My empty mouth is full now

With my wailing

Skinny, Skinny, let ME be SKINNY

Yellowed skin littered in bruises,

Vacant tired sad eyes,

Counting calories,

Shivering bones hug the cold bowl,

As what little I ate

Disappears,

Don't feed me, anymore

Beautiful lies

Starvation isn't beautiful,

They'll be crying

When I die,

Too young, Too young
