I wake up in the morning.
I get out of bed.
And I check how much I need to suck in to see my ribs.

I get dressed.
I go downstairs to eat breakfast.
And I make sure I eat the minimal amount that will sustain me.

I go to the busstop.
I go through my morning classes.
And I read quietly at the table, consuming no food at all.

I go through afternoon classes.
I get on the bus.
And I go straight to work and make sure my mom doesn't notice I take no snack.

I do my homework.
I hide in my room.
And if I eat more than a few bites for supper, it's a trip to the swirling toilet to puke up the meal.

Every day.
This is me.
Every night.
This is me.

This is not an illness.
This is not a disease.
This is not an ailment.

This is a way of life.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT REAL I AM NOT LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is what I was going to be. What I could have been. What for a few days I was. But I'm not now. I just wanted to write. And I don't want to write about being lonely right now...
