I’ve been fasting for days
And when they ask me why I tell them
My hunger for love is stronger than that for food
Because no one loves a chubby girl
I am not overweight
But the scale trembles when I stomp onto it
People say I am skinny
But I don’t feel it
I don’t feel it in my stomach
That I stretch and claw at with my hands
Or My cheeks
That I wish I could bring a knife to and cut it loose
Because magazines and Instagram models taught me that
No one loves a girl with weight to her
So I skip meals I once loved
And I fall asleep hungry
