She draws them on

Her hands

Her beautiful hands

She draws them on

her legs

Her lovely legs

She draws them all over

her body

Her beautiful body

They watch her

They tell her

You’re too fat

Don’t wear that

They tell her to

dye her hair

Her lovely hair

That color

Do this

And you’ll be in

You’ll be one

of them.

She eats what they tell her

A fourth bagel

Plain

A half salad

No dressing

An energy bar

Nothing else

Now they say

Barf it up

She does

This goes on

She changes

no one

recognizes her
