The ABC's of Skinny

Location

A girl, overweight her whole life, wants to be thin. 

Before she can, she has to plan

Cut out sugars

Detox, only for a few days though, it'll be okay

Eat less, it'll help

Fat, is all I see

Gigantic, I call my thighs

Hatred, of my own body

I want to be skinny

Just cutting lunch today, I won't do it again

Kilograms are the most important thing now

Lose all of this fat, you'll be prettier

More water, you don't need food

No more sweets, ever

Only water, it's only for this week

Praying to be thinner

Quarts of water a day, no food

Rest is no longer an option, I have to work out

Starving is the only way

Thigh gap, I'll stop when I get there

Under garmets get looser, I'm almost there

Very weak, I'll stop soon

Wondering why

X rays, hospital

Y??? A friend messages me

Zig zags, on the heart monitor get smaller

She only wanted to feel prettier.
