I don't know if this is a short story, or poem, its sorta both. Its sad too,
*******************************************
The Voices floated through her head,
Fat, Ugly, Worthless,
She skipped breakfast, not feeling very hungry.
Would anyone notice
She eats lunch so her friends won't suspect
Stupid, Fat, Good-for-nothing
No dinner that night, she had no appetite
Would anyone notice
Her lunch got smaller
Horrid, Lousy, Chunky
She stopped eating lunch, making up excuses
Would anyone notice,
No breakfast
Fat, Gross, Smelly
Skipped lunch
Would anyone notice
Missed dinner
Thoughtless, Fat, Stupid
The voices moved though her head, filling it with the words of others, beating her down, overwhelming her.
Would anyone notice?
Thoughtless, Fat, Stupid Fat, Gross, Smelly Horrid, Lousy, Chunky, Stupid, Fat, Good-for-nothing, Fat, Ugly, Worthless,
No one noticed,
She slowly withered away, until only one thought remained
Fat
Now she's dead.
