They say nothing
Will ever taste as good
As thin feels
But whose definition of thin?
For someone with an
Eating disorder
Thin is never thin enough
I have been 72 pounds
And still saying
I was fat
You est because
It's what is expected of you
But it makes you feel
As if you will never be accepted
For who you are
Take a bite, and smile
While all you can think
Is how much you want
To get rid of it
The texture is all wrong
Your taste buds don't know what to do
Your stomach starts to hurt
Your mouth goes dry
Your lips crack and start to bleed
The grime on your fingers,
Disgusting
Your knees start to buckle
And your only thought is
'I'm not thin enough
For this to be happening'
But the truth is
To you, you will never be
Thin enough
Your perception of yourself
Is so twisted
Someone gives you a compliment
You pick it apart
So to you its an insult
Or a lie
You catch all the body language
All the little things
That no one notices
Just how you view yourself
Invisible
You're life begins to revolve
Around food
How much you'll eat
How much you won't
Because an eating disorder
Isn't just a disorder of the body
It's also a disorder of the mind
And until you think you're enough
You will never be enough.
