90 Calories

The box had said 90 per serving.
I’m not hungry, ‘cause see, I’ve been learning
that food is just dirty, it’s sick, and it’s hurts me
and I know that one day it will destroy me.

I will be skipping my meals without doubt
because I’ve waited so long for these bones to come out
and I’m not jeopardizing it now.
But honestly,
inside of me
there will always be a small degree of hope
that this won’t
guarantee disease.

Then, wow!
The pounds! They keep decreasing,
they came, they stayed, and now they’re leaving,
I brainwashed myself to keep believe
nothing good with come from eating.

I’m a self-diagnosed gross f*****g ghost
now it’s too late, I’ve been exposed,
I’ve come too close…
.I just wishes I had some pride
as my awareness hides inside my thighs,
but I can’t pretend to be surprised,
as if my a*s is the one
who can’t decide
which size it wants to fit inside….

and now everyone is loving me or judging me,
you must be thinking,
“I just can’t believe this girl is so naïve ,
it seems to be she’s either being mean
by blatantly mocking a disease,
or somehow she’s pleased to see that we’ve
perceived her deepest screams as poetry.”

Whatever you’re thinking is fine with me.
Just know this;
While you sit there deciding
what truly lies beneath the rhyming
I will continue to imply things
by disguise it as writing.

A nice way to keep the reader guessing. I won't tell you what I think... because the point is that you don't need to be judged.

In terms of the writing -- the rhythm is not perfect (e.g. the 'bones to come out' line is a bit too long) but there is a solid structure here, and the free-flow of it is very expressive. You also have a nice hand on the rhyming. It's firm, but loose -- there's enough give to it that the words can really soar.
