Take Me Home (Original Poems)

Skinny - Poem 44

It takes so much work

Though, there are never any perks.

You tell yourself it's worth it

But there is only leftover grit.

It started because everyone told you to

It turned into to just being you.

You just skipped one meal

Though that didn't seem to be enough for the deal.

It turned to a day of not eating

Then it turned to a self hatred beating.

It is all quite alright though

Because your own self image was your foe

Because you only feel beautiful

When you are starving...
