The Voices that Kill

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.
