a letter to my mother (II)

dear ma,

when you tell me to try something

on

but I don't look thin enough

like the girl in the

photo

and instead of telling me it’s fine,

you spit out that you

hate me even more,

has ripped me

into shreds,

into gore.

i swear it feels like,

banging myself into

the door.
