life of the young and restless
The Struggle

You cut, you cry.
‘I ate!’ you lie.
You binge, then purge.
You fight each urge.

A river of blood, it stains your sheet.
You’re running so fast, it hurts your feet.

A glass if ice.
A sprinkle of spice.
You sip diet coke.
Then light up a smoke.

‘You’re hurting us!’ they scream & yell.
But half the story, you’ll never tell.

Each day you fight
Lose track of the light.
There is no hope
You cannot cope.

I wonder what its like to be small and tiny. To have hip bones pointing out and rib bones showing. I wonder what it’s like to have thighs you can fit your hands around and a really wide thigh gap. I wonder what its like to be a size 00, XS. i wonder what its like to be perfect.
