Society's Thinspiration
Her collarbones almost stabbed through her skin.
Her skeletal fingers grasped at the little skin
she had left on her thin, pale stomach.
She put her petite toes together
and her crescent thighs still didn’t touch.
Her tiny, sliced wrists skimmed over
the tight skin on her face.
She cried to her reflection in the mirror.
“Just skip a few more meals
and maybe you’ll be beautiful.”
