Skeleton at the Dinner Table
It tires me when I look in the mirror and see someone who is not beautiful. Maybe I was, once. No longer.
My bones stick out in all of the wrong places. My skin is much too pale. My veins portrude from my hands when I type.
It tires me because I forced myself to change.
I was larger, once. Heathly. But I decided I wasn't. I decided I was too big. I wanted to be small.
So
I
Became
Smaller
Than
I've
Ever
Been.
It tires me because I used to be healthy. Now, I get away with eating as little as possible.
My head aches. My vision blurs. Foggy mind.
I am tired of being the skeleton at the dinner table.
