Skin and Bones

Skin and Bones

A Poem by Julie Morgan

Skin and bone

With arms like twigs

Ribs like gills

Yet I’m ‘so fit’.

 

Compliments flying

All my way

Confessions that they

Are jealous of me.

 

They don’t understand

That it’s not pretty

To be so under weight

That your eyes get heavy.

 

Your arms get weak

Don’t want to speak

Because you’re so stressed

That you just can’t eat.

 

‘You’re so skinny!’

Will never satisfy me

Because in my eyes

92 pounds will always be ugly.
