Skin & Bones

You think I like this? You think it's easy? You want to look like me? You have no idea. People think that I don't eat, that I starve myself, that I eat and then throw it up. Chicken legs don't look cute with capri's. Skinny ankles look ridiculous with any shoes. My legs have no shape at all. My tummy has rolls. Yes, even skinny people have rolls. My shoulder blades are visible and people always notice and point it out. Stick thin arms with no muscle looks so gross. But there's nothing I can do. I can eat and eat, yet where does all the food go?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I have realized that no one is entirely happy with the way they look
