Picture perfect
How thin can you go?
Up for a challenge?
Painful and slow.

Waiting it out
Obsessed with forbidden
Skip one more meal
Keeping secrets hidden

Insomnia increases
Watching seconds tick
Saying you’re not hungry
Denying you’re sick

Grinding teeth
Vision wavering
Tastes long forgotten
You’re still savoring

Standing outside
Feels so cold
Approaching blackness
Then legs fold

Hospital bed
Haven’t awoken
Tearing eyes
Lives are broken
