she stares in the mirror

wondering why shes not good enough

day after day

mesmerized by the thought of looking “skinny” 

but skinny to her is bones

bones that pile up into nothingness

skipping breakfast, lunch, dinner

losing hair

but losing weight

its all she cares about

day after day

weigh after weigh

her stomach ready to reach out of her body for food

the food she desperately needs

but she denys and denys

the accusations start to pile

she cant help it but to cry

all she ever wanted was perfection

why is she never enough

why am i never enough?
