I restrict because I must. 
Restrict because I want to be thin. 
Restrict because I have control. 
I eat 50 because I must. 
Binge 400 because I'm weak. 
Binge 600 because I have no control. 
I purge 300 because I must. 
Purge 500 because I'm scared. 
Purge 700 because I want to feel beautiful. 
Purge 800 because I'm growing by the second. 
My eyes see fat. 
Creases and folds; 
Worms under my skin; 
Wiggling and growing. 
Oil leaking out of my pores; 
My eyes are broken. 
They say I'm gorgeous. 
Say I'm thin. 
Say not to worry. 
I cannot see the nonsense they see. 
I watch them cook. 
Watch the grease bubble and splatter. 
Smell the fat hanging in the air. 
I watch them eat. 
Stuffing their faces; 
Calories dripping down their chin. 
I feel anxiety; 
Fear. 
Fear that seeing makes me gain. 
Anxiety that smelling coats my esophagus. 
My stomach cramps. 
My stomach hurts. 
It is empty because I am strong; 
I'm happy I'm empty. 
Happy I am on my way to the ultimate. 
My body is weak and shaky. 
Vision blurrs and blackens as I stand. 
I dont know how to stop. 
Do not want to stop. 
I dream of being caught. 
Dream of being stopped. 
Dream of binging. 
Dream of purging. 
Dream of walking dead. 
I eat a cracker to make it through the day. 
Drink water to hide growls of the monster inside. 
I hide behind my shirts and pants. 
Count, multiply and divide. 
The numbers that lead to the ultimate goal; 
The beauty bones that are so pure; 
The concave stomach; 
The rib ladders and jutting hips. 
I wont stop until I'm there. 
Wont ever be full until the 80. 
When the scale says bones are most my weight. 
When I reach the pure happy thinness of beauty in my broken eyes. 
Then, 
Then will my eyes be fixed.
