Value-Zero
One

I popped the calories in like the medication I use to numb my pounding headaches,, The
headaches caused
when I skip the meals my mother prepares or when I go days without eating .
You will not find a single crumb on my lips, only when I take the plunge and dive into
worlds of numbers and calculations during the days of my everlasting disease of
Eat
Eat
Eat
and
When I finally realized I just ruined my hard work of 2 months, I run, faster than I will
In the physical education, I am forced to take, faster than I ever will when I go on my
special runs to get rid of any remains,, I run to the bathroom,, lock the door, turn on the
sink and stick the disgustingly cold fingers down my throat, and the problem is...it will
continue,, between me being a simple teen and "just trying to find myself out"I will always
be looked at like the fat girl who wants attention, the number on the scale doesn't just
represent the weight I am,, it represents my self-value,, I will value myself when that
number reaches the zero, until im nothing left but skin and bone,, until im nothing.
