I just want to be like the image in my head.
bullied at school
because of weight-
it's no different
whether male
or female.
I'll just lose a few pounds.
guilt washes over
while eating-
the voice whispers
you're fat.
(doesn't matter if you're
male or female).
It's like... a voice. A voice that tells you you're fat; you're worthless.
panicking with every forkful
calorie-counting
imagining the fat
packing on with every
bite.
A girl's disease? No. It's just different for boys. Just different.
