Who can I be?


I have never been skinny

so why should I be now?

Should I be?

Is it me?

You disown me from who I am based off of my weight.

Maybe its best for us,

for me to leave

I don't mind the roazor against my skin.

Do you?

I love the feel of the blood running down warm on my cold arms

Would you still love me?
