Perfection
August 14, 2008
I run a hand along my stomach
looking in the mirror.
So big.
So fat.
So out of control.
My stomach growls in frustration.
I hush it.
5 more pounds, I tell myself.
5 becomes 10.
10 becomes 20.
I can't stop it now.
I am what I eat.
I eat nothing.
I feel nothing.
I am,
Nothing.
Numb, so numb.
So close, one day.
So far, today.
A tear runs down my cheek.
Too far from perfection.
