Revival

They see skin pale and innocent
I see the demons, the monsters lurking, crawling in my skin
With a gentle tug my hair falls, leaving bright bald spots behind
Not even my hair wants me
Fat clings to me, refusing to leave
I shake my girth, it does not move
It is always there, teasing my bettered mind
My knees ache from being pressed together
The bruises are running up my legs
Someone will notice soon
Pressure builds in my stomach as I weep
My legs buckle and I fall to my hands
They are scratched from constant altercation
As they see my smile they are clueless
As I smile, I fight
Each breath is a struggle to keep myself here
To keep my body from consuming itself
The pressure pangs and forms into pain as the monsters dig
They have left my veins, they are in my throat
I try to scream, try to get help before the fat clogs my airways
It is pointless
Fighting this is pointless
Suddenly, it climbs up my throat with claws sharp
I look in the stained mirror, my eyes grow wide
It is sticking out of me
Talons rest on my chapped lips
It is the girl I used to be
