My Body
And I drank water
not to quench my thirst,
but to repel my hunger.
And I writhed
when someone
made me eat.
And I couldn't mask
the feeling that
something was eating me
from the inside out.
So I didn't eat, only drank
and only thought
and only watched
and only cried
when my body started to shut down.
And only
if only
I could stop
Idolizing thin,
and start idolizing
Me.
