i look down at my full plate

though my stomach tells me yes

my mind tells me i'll regret it

I get a look across the table

their eyes are full of judgement

they just don't understand it

while they have a normal hunger

i have a hunger for something more

I have a hunger for something less

a hunger not in my stomach

but a hunger to be thinner

a hunger to be prettier

a hunger to be accepted

a hunger that will never be quenched
