Hollow. Empty. Starving. Pretty...?

She is meek.

She loves the haunted hollow

look of her cheeks.

The idea of bony 'beauty', she swallowed.

She wants to be the model

of a boutique. 

Hollow. Empty. Starving. Pretty...? 

The clock says tick.

She wants to be an hourglass.

The clock says tock.

All the class

and the fat mocks.

That's what she thinks. 

 Hollow. Empty. Starving. Pretty...?

She's anorexic,

or maybe bulimic.

The clock says tick.

Why isn't help automatic?

The clock says tick.

The clock says tock.

Starved, her prison she locks. 

Hollow. Empty. Starving. Pretty...? 

The way she was. 

Happy.
