My body is a weird place
It craves everything constantly
Like it wants to kill us with fat
While my mind is an empty space
Wanting to keep things neat and tidy
Prim and proper
Small and sweet
Every part of me wants to kill the other
I'm at war with myself
Like a captain against his men
I am lost with how to command it
How to tame the mustang of my own being
Like a small child learning to speak
So many years of being small
Now I stand to fix it
To fix what is broken
To nourish what's left back to health
I was once a frail girl
Waiting for the wind to take me away
Now I stand tall and strong
For all the food I have ate
No longer staving the child inside
