A dull green,

the color staring back at me

as I gazed into the mirror.

Criticizing me,

degrading me.

And as my eyes trailed down my body,

I sucked in my stomach.

Why was I so fat?

Why couldn't I be thin?

Like the girls in my class,

like the girls in magazines?

I hated this,

I hated my body,

I hated me.

As a tear streamed down

my cheek,

I hovered my head over the toilet

and puked up the french bread

I ate for breakfast.

Gagging on the acid

clinging to my tongue,

I closed my eyes and thought

I'm fine

I'm fine

I'll be fine.
