They are sick
sick
sickly sweet
white teeth and laces every edge
increased and faded.
Glossy goddesses,
hair a cascade
outstretched arms
in gauzy facade.
Light pouring on them:
Thin
red-lipped
inhaling
kissing
dancing
suspending
in stilled frame.

"Aren't I
aren't I glamorous
in my collared boned shame?
Don't you wish you were me,
with sunken, mocking face?
I am the picture of perfecteion
my eye-lights never fade
I am guiltless temptations
but beauty knows no pain."

  1. This is so good! And hits so close to home right now... These days I keep stumbling on people's pages full of thinspo and nothing makes me sadder... How I wish I had the words to tell them that beautiful does not equal thin.
