ED boy

It's not just girls who have eating disorders

One, two, three, four
perfect bones that pale fingers stumble over
high pretty cheeks bones
such a good boy

He's just growing
no more baby fat
he's a man now
no ana
no mia
for men
it's just muscle
not bone...right?

He's just not hungry
he's a boy
you're overreacting
hell inside his head
is not possible
they always say

White sheets and beeping machines
one, two...
three, four
her fingers stumble over his bones
all the signs missed
because boys aren't supposed to do this
