Hunger Pains
January 26, 2021
A knife’s blade lacerates sweaty, adolescent skin
We bleed to know that we are still tangible
Still alive
Still existing
Somewhere
Our voice will be heard
Someday our words will take up more space than we ever will
Our bodies evaporating
Skeleton girls
Made of diet coke and energy drinks
Clad in crop tops two sizes too small
Wondering if we are enough and too much at the same time
Because we have the audacity to survive
Because we have the audacity to want
