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
