I am addicted
to starvation
I want to rid myself
of this horrid germ
but I can't
I can't eat
even if I want to
maybe once it was about being skinny
but now its about the numbers
my body refuses to act
my food ends up
in my napkin
or thrown-up
in the toilet
and now here I stand
5'3' and 78 lbs
pinching my stomach
in the mirror
Author notes
78 pounds is my lowest weight with anorexia.
