Skinny is in,

she tells her friend

while looking at the mirror

to see if she is well proportioned

She keeps her body rolling

on the sound of Zumba

sweating like monsoon

in the greed of reaching the ideal goal

She worries day and night

she loses herself in imagination

She is born with a body

then become attached to it like an eternal glue

what seems to be her’s doesn’t belong to her anymore

she sold herself for the price of ---?

Then one day, she comes home

with a pale little smile

rests on her bed, holding a vogue magazine

and sleeps for good.

up in her eyes, he

said “why the f*** you are begging to these people?”

Jesus has never come to save our a****

and he won’t ever

so, stop being the weak ones

we are dead as a doornail to the world,

in their eyes we are thick as thieves

we were born, raise, and die as

the *
