Ribcage

Ribcage
Open your ribcage
To try and see the thing inside
That threatens to drag you under
The hunger causes it
It eats away at you
Gives you dead eyes
And fuzzy thoughts
It nags at you
Forcing you under again and again
Especially when you think you want to escape
Reminding you that you’re not good enough
You’re fat and ugly
Nobody will love you
You don’t deserve it
You’re hollow from the outside in
Not really alive
Just a shell of a dying body
Walking around pretending to be real
You can’t see it
You could die
But you don’t care
Hell, maybe you should
When you try to overcome
It calls you back
Whispering your name in the dark
Telling you lies
Trying to pull you back under
It wants you to see your ribcage
So you’ll want to pull it open once more
You feed it by not feeding yourself
It likes it this way
Empty
