eat them don't sip them
like the way others sip
at your mess you've scratched in
on your life.
bright blinding lights
i feed into for i get to be
someome who isnt me
in tinted second hand
denim and smudged eyeliner.
for an hour a day.
eat them don't sip them
like the way your mom
use to sip the word therapy.
eat them don't sip them
like the x amount of calories
it takes two hundred and fifty calories
for you to cut and then;
another two hundred and fifty calories
to burn on top of that too see
weight loss.
eat them don't sip them
like the word recovery.
'cause skeltons are only as
pretty as the past face they used
as a shield from gutting thoughts.
EAT THEM DON'T SIP THEM.
like you trained yourself
to do.
eat them don't sip them
like you use to do
back when you thought neon
was cool.
and you thought you were
beautiful and never understand
why someone couldn't love
themselves.
you learned that one on your own.
when your collar bone started
to show.
dantiy fingers on cold
february mornings.
when you were bones in
a leather jacket.
and got nicotine highs off
of a drag from a smoke.
eat them don't sip them
your worth more.
