i am bones.
i am dust.
i am frailty and withering
and rust.

i am food.
i am strong.
i am food.
i am control.
i am food.
i am winning.

i am the space
between each lie,
between each heartbeat,
between my thighs.

i am food.
i am strong.
i am food.
i am control.
i am food.
i am winning.

i am this corset.
count each one,
one rib, two ribs,
on and on.

i am food.
i am strong.
i am food.
i am control.
i am food.
i am winning.

i am empty.
i am void.
but i smile,
i'm not destroyed.

because i am skin.
i am bones.
i am strong.
i am control.

i am the waning
moon. i am a
shrinking
wound. i
will be
a bird
soon.




i am winning.
“I want to go to sleep and not wake up, but I don't want to die. I want to eat like a normal person eats, but I need to see my bones or I will hate myself even more and I might cut my heart out or take every pill that was ever made.”
― Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls
