flawless perfection

Skinny

Thin

Small

Petite

Words that mean nothing to you

But everything to

                                    Me

A reflection

            A struggle

                        A war

Raging on       

            One missed snack

                        Then a meal

Hunger doesn’t faze me

            Its comforting

                                                One day

Check

                                                Two days

Check

                        Control

Battles that I fight, won

            Wars, not so much

Always trying

            Working towards

                        -reality-

fantasy getting in the way

skinny

thin

small

petite

words that mean nothing to you

but everything to

            me

This poem was amazing and very powerful. The words are haunting even though the format give it more of a lighter tone. However, it is the format that makes this piece so interesting and different. The words are worrisome as they are gut-renching, and I hope that you can see the beauty of yourself in the fierceness of your words. Thank you for being brave enough to share this piece.
