Her Days
February 24, 2013
Because when she bends
her spine doesn't show.
When she stands tall, her
heart aches and she's
never full.
She's a waste of space
In constant struggle with her
Eating and weight.
They don't know, it's private
But she's crying inside
Hurting herself being
On this diet
A diet to be thin
A diet to be perfect
She purges everything
because she knows it's worth it.
Coughs up the pain
Wipes the tears
Finishes her mess
And continues her year.

He reads the poem, and begins to think. Think the thoughts that has always floated in his mind. He loves this girl. He thinks she is beautiful, and he loves her with all of his heart. <3
