Do I look beautiful now?

Sharp creases highlight my bones
countable from a distance away
My voices cracks through the phone
a quivery note to say
Vile pasty aftertaste
swims in my mouth
My hair strips to waste
like the fires in the south.
Colorful meaningful tattoos
now red with hate
black with blues
scared about fate.
Beauty
This is what you made me
Beauty
Is what made me free

This piece is to raise awareness of anorexia. I hope when people read this work they will get a better understanding of the affects eating disorders can have on someone.
