Bones ache, and your limbs feel numb.
You haven’t eaten in 5 days.
That perfect figure has shrunken,
and you still don’t care.

Everyone is concerned.
Life is completely sucked out of you.
You even destroyed your old image,
so you can fit into that new dress.

The ones you love have drifted away,
I can’t even recognize you,
but you ignore this toxic truth
because you need to look “pretty”.

I didn’t care what size you were,
or how much weight you gained.
You looked beautiful to me.
Though, you were hungry for “perfection.”

And when you look in the mirror,
you don’t see the monster that everyone else knows you’ve become.
You see the “funhouse version”; an obese version.
The version that makes you the living skeleton you are.
