Better Than Skinny Feels
Location
You tell me
That nothing tastes
As good as skinny feels.
But my 16th birthday cake
Tastes better
Than choking on vomit feels.
Pizza boats with my friend
Tastes better
Than this heart monitor feels.
Mozzarella sticks
Tastes better
Than dry skin feels.
Do not tell me
I am only beautiful
If I meet the requirements of
-
My thighs do not touch
-
You can see my hip bones
-
My BMI is less than 18
This beauty cannot be measured by a scale
A tape measure
A number
I am infinitely beautiful
My body is a galaxy of cells
My freckles are stars
My scars are constellations
I am a universe
I am beautiful
I will not allow my insecurities
Be a profit to a billion dollar industry
That tells me that I am not enough
That tells me the best way to starve myself
The best way to die
I am more than what they think I am
I am a god damn galaxy
