"I'm not hungry"


Every day is a battle.

Getting through it.

Everyone asking if you're okay,

saying yes do they don't think you're crazy.

 

Every day you look in the mirror,

you hate what you see.

Grabbing your arms,

as you cover yourself in shame.

 

People saying you're underweight 

but when you step on that scale,

as you see that number

you make a plan.

 

Every day you eat less and less. 

Every day being told it's not right.

Being told you need to eat something, 

but every day you say the same thing.

"I'm not hungry"
