today at the gym i saw an anorexic girl.

it made me terribly sad because she didn't look good.
and she didn't realize it.

her thighs were the size of my calf,
shoulders the size of my wrists
and a super concave stomach.
and there she was, doing ab exercises and leg lifts.
sorry hun, but you don't need anymore of those.


I just wanted to help her, but what could i do.
ask her if she's been to therapy?
don't think so.
give her food to eat.
didn't have any with me.
asked her name?
could have done that and wish i would have.
maybe all she needs is a friend to help her with her problem.

So, this is for you anorexic girl.
next time i see you, i will ask your name.
we will become friends,
and you will overcome this disease that is killing you.

until then, go eat some ice cream.
