im so tired of everyone poking at me,
my mother telling me im too skinny

im so tired of everyong prying into my life,
asking me whether i eat real food

im so damn tired of everyone laughing, 
joking that i dont keep my food down

im so tired of people thinking im anorexic

i eat my food
i keep it down, too.

i dont diet 
or stay away from pizza and other junk.

i eat like a pig 
and yet everyone tells me that im anorexic.

i know what i am,
and i know what im not.

so stop telling me im anorexic.
