do not let yourself become a calculator
adding up calories and sizes in your head.
do not let yourself become a spider as well as the web
ensnaring yourself in empty promises.
do not become friends with a monster
whose gaping jaws will always be hungrier than yours.
do not become the victim of that same maw
who will not only bite, but refuse to let go.
do not let yourself be fooled by its deceitful grin
claiming to be your only friend.
i promise that being thin won't just make you pretty
it will make you hollow.
