Something that people don't realise about anorexia is that
It is so far away from being about food
food is a distraction, a ditherance, an entirely logical and understandable struggle
for someone on the outside
But we know deep within that
the food is merely the band aid
that behind every skipped meal and snack is
a tsunami of insecurities.
People look at a thin girl not eating and wish she'd stop reading magazines
they'd say 'why does she want to look like Kim Kardashian'?
She's only skin deep.
The irony in what you're saying is stark,
the food is only skin deep
It's a defense, a weapon
to hide what is underneath.
