The Hunger Only Grows
Day 51/365
By Ellie HoovsPublished 11 months ago • Updated 11 months ago • 1 min read
Another supplement swallowed
another work out
sweated out
burning off
that extra bite of salad
another bathing suit tried on
the mirror is laughing
again
just another pound or two
maybe the scale
will show something
new
skin and bones
the hunger to be thin
only grows.
