Silently,
Crying for H-E-L-P
or maybe the love you didn't get,
so you waste away.
You want to be nothing,
a NOBODY.
Starving purifies you
and you become a non-entity.
You look like an alien
for all your thinness.
You
do not need to grow up!
You can feel safe in your obsession.
"You can never be too rich or too thin."
Right?
NO!
Wrong!
Madison Avenue assaults you with these images-
images of gaunt, ideal figures,
a deformed Barbie type!
Everyone is always on a diet.
Cultural and societal pressures
perpetuate our perversity.
Are you sinking now?
The quicksand slurping up your bones?
until you have no way home from OZ,
no way home to life and happiness?
Didn't figure on that, did you?
You can fight the glue that binds you,
but it is hard work!
