"Some people feel like they don't deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past."


Ribs,
Protruding proof
Of a girl in pain
With a need for control.
Ribs,
A mark of willpower
Or is it weakness
A false sense of control
A puppet governed
By insecurity.
The monster inside,
Taunting.
Empty stomach
Is it applauding your strength,
Or growling at your cruelty?

I wrote this piece when my eating disorder was taking over my thoughts. Everything I did was to please it.
