all who wander arent always aimless. where do you go to escape yourself? close your eyes and see me. <br /> all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be. <br /> i am in love with you &lt;3

featherweight perfection
is a lie
we have girls who binge,
starving and purging
trying to fit society's expectations
so now i must write myself,
write myself a letter
Dear Stomach,
Please get smaller,
before my bones crumble
and my lungs cave in,
cause i don't want to
gain an ounce.

Love,


Me.
