Skinny, skinnier,
Wasting away.
The max is 500
Calories a day.

Stomach growling,
Just ignore it.
Once you’re skinnier,
You’ll adore it.

Drink more water,
Make more tea.
Check the carbs,
But still don’t eat.

On the scale now,
Poised on top.
Love to see
Those numbers drop.

I see my ribs,
They’re sticking through.
I see my spine,
My hip-bones too.

No matter how hard,
Or how rough,
It’ll never
Be enough.
