consumption
please don’t make me eat
i am utterly repulsed by food
i can’t gain weight, no one will love me if i do
please don’t make me eat
please don’t make me eat
the feeling of an empty stomach is lovely
and i still want tomorrow’s love
please don't make me eat
please don't make me eat
im so so close;
my ribs showing and hips jutting
i just want to be beautiful so
please don't make me eat
even as bad as i am…
please don’t send me away
please don't make me eat
i may not be able to get comfy often
or warm
but i'm so so close
please don't make me eat
just leave it be
please
