Starvation,
Starvation,
Starvation.
No pain?
- Then no perfection.
When I know,
[theres nothing left to take away]
I'll smile,
at my reflection.

Sad stark reality of what eating disorders to do people!! Powerful in it's rawness!! I love it

A strong write here,yet very sad...It is awful that so many think they must starve themselves to reach the beauty that they desire...For beauty come from within,yet in this day and time...They push beauty like advertising to sell perfection that never comes!
Great take on the prompt...
Best of Luck
Blessings
