Closing, closing,
And closing still –

Don’t eat this
Already ate once
Today

She pokes the
Ripe flesh, and the
Look – there’s the look!

She shakes her head

Going to the gym,
Have to work it off

You know how
Mommy hates it so

And if you like it
So much, then spit it up

Can’t swallow it down

Starving little skittle,
Yes! Little.. little..

So very little

I got a little tripped up when you said, ripe flesh and the look- there's the look, I thought maybe it could go ripe flesh and look- there's the look. Ok otherwise I really liked it. Good emotion.

Oh, such a pertinent problem in today's world. We girls just want to be able to control something in our lives, and we want to be pretty, oh so pretty. Yuck... I loved the way you did this though.

Why is it that we are at our most ingenius only when trying to destroy the things that keep us alive and thriving?

Well done, memina. No sugar this time, no salt either. Just - well done.

Nice one, Jaime. Blunt, to the point and real. Very different to the interesting comment I received from someone today on anorexia...apparently we're just [edited] girls that refuse to eat and want to be this way. *rolls eyes* How colourful.

well done.
