Unseen
A distorted view that is not true
damages the youth of the generations that pass through
Beneath the filters, the flawless scene
leaves children ill at ease concerning their seams
Anxiety brews, when restraining to chew
In pursuit of perfection, she displays an uncanny obsession
a quest for validation, hard to hide
the meal she eats, unseen by the human eye
echoes of hunger, a quiet command
is too many numbers to withstand
irregular heartbeats, cold hands and feet
her body: all bones and no meat
