Skin and bones

Skin and bones.

Let me be reduced to

Skin and bones.

I’m far too used to

Skin and bones.

It’s all that I aspire to be

I see that paper is thinner than me

I’m jealous

But my skin is so much more than

Skin and bones

Something in me craves to be full

Something in me cries to be indulged

But if I listen to it, I will lose it all.

I’ll shut it out for just a while longer

Only the weakest of us give in to hunger.
