skinny.
wearing all the cool clothes
skinny.
boys looking at her like she's a treat
skinny.
give the dogs some bones?
skinny.
the scale went down since yesterday
skinny.
maybe if she hits the double-digits?
skinny.
pretty yellow skin, dry like a desert
skinny.
distinct ribs caging a fragile heart
skinny.
wrists like pages from pop-out books
skinny.
just another mile... another mile... one more
skinny.
she's so cold, turn up the heater... higher
skinny.
and it's not even winter
skinny.
another mirror check, keeps it in her pocket
skinny.
sharing all her secrets with a porcelain toilet bowl
skinny.
riding in a beautiful ambulance on prom night
skinny.
wrap your hand around her thigh
skinny.
your fingertips touch your palm
skinny.
skin stretching over a skeleton
skinny.
she's so cold, just so cold
skinny.
lying in a pretty coffin
skinny.
[better pray her body holds up her wings.
better pray they don't have mirrors in heaven.]

Literature
Anorexia
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
Literature
Skinny
Why are you so skinny?
Are you bulimic?
Anorexic?
No, I say. Stop asking for once.
Can't I just play this game called life, and score some points?
I need to recover.
I need to breathe.
I need to write,
And I need to read.
So stop asking, how I got so lucky,
To be so skinny,
To weigh so little,
To look so frail.
Quit congratulating me, giving me praise.
What happens when I'm sick?
Does SKINNY end my days?
It's scaring sometimes.
To watch yourself disappear.
Every time you got sick,
And don't eat.
To have to fear,
"Will I survive this week?"
I am not bulimic,
Anorexic,
Or other kind.
I'm regular.
Just a girl who can't

Anorexia
Magazines and television
Model pretty girls
Their bodies perfect and so thin
Their hair all up in curls
I want to feel my skin, my bone
Changing into something beautiful
But sometimes I think looking like them
May take a miracle
I'll push around the corn and beans
All around my plate
Maybe I can convince them all
That I really ate.
I can see my bones now
Showing through my skin
Which has grown so very pale
Which has become so thin.
All I'll drink is water
And eat only cotton balls
To make my stomach think I'm full
Perhaps I'll make it after all
People seem to notice
And ask if I've lost weight

Old poem 04
I am not against skinny girls.
I am against eating disorders. I am against society saying what's beautiful and what's not. I am against hating your body. I am against putting yourself down. I am against saying only girls have eating disorders.
I am for accepting yourself, even when it's hard.
You are gorgeous.
