Days since I last pissed
Cheeks sunken an d despaired
So gor geous sunk to six stone
Lose my only remaining home
See my third rib ap pear
A week later all my flesh disappear
Stretching taut,
cling-film on on bone
I'm getting bet ter
Karen says I've reached
my target weight
Kate and emma and
kristin know it's fake
Problem is diet's not a big enough word
I want to be so skinny that I rot from view
I want to walk in the snow
And not leave a footprint
I want to walk in the snow
And not soil its purity
Stomach collapsed at five
Lift up my skirt my sex is gone
Naked and lovely and 5st. 2
May I bud and nev er flower
My vision's getting blurred
But I can see my ribs and
I feel fine
My hands are trembling stalks
And I can feel my breasts are sinking
Mother trys to choke me
with roast beef
And sits savouring her sole ryvitta
That's the way you're built
my father said
But I can change, my cocoon shedding
I want to walk in the snow
And not leave a footprint
I want to walk in the snow
And not soil its purity
Kate and kristin and kit kat
All things I like looking at
Too weak to fuss, too weak to die
Choice is skeletal in everybody's
life
I choose, my choice, I starve to frenzy
Hunger soon passes and sick
ness soon tires
Legs bend, stockinged I am twiggy
And I don't mind the horror that sur
rounds me
Self-worth scatters, scatters,
self-esteem's a bore
I long since moved to a higher plateau
This discipline's so rare
so please applaud
Just look at the fat scum who
pamper me so
Yeh 4st. 7, an epilogue of youth
Such beautiful dignity in self-abuse
I've I've finally come
to understand life
Through staring blankly at
my na vel.
