  "I eat too much to live and not enough to stay alive. I'm just sitting in the middle, waiting." 
  Days since I last pissed 
  cheeks sunken and despaired 
  so gorgeous sunk to six stone 
  lose my only remaining home 
  see my third rib appear 
  a week later all my flesh disappear 
  stretching taut, cling-film on bone 
  I'm getting better 
  Karen says I've reached my TARGET weight 
  Kate and Emma and Kristin know it's fake 
  problem is diet's not a big enough word 
  I wanna be so skinny that I rot from view 
  I want to walk in the snow 
  and not leave a footprint 
  I want to walk in the snow 
  and not soil its purity 
  stomach collapsed at five 
  lift up my skirt my sex is gone 
  naked and lovely and 5st. 2 
  may I bud and never flower 
  my vision's getting blurred 
  but I can see my rib's and I feel fine 
  my hands are trembling stalks 
  and I can feel my breasts are sinking 
  mother tries to choke me with roast beef 
  and sits savouring her sole Ryvitta 
  that's the way your built my father said 
  but I can change, my cocoon shedding 
  I want to walk in the snow 
  and not leave a footprint 
  I want to walk in the snow 
  and not soil its purity 
  Kate and Kristin and Kit Kat 
  all things I like looking at 
  too weak to fuss, too weak to die 
  choice is skeletal in everybody's life 
  I choose, my choice, I starve to frenzy 
  hunger soon passes and sickness soon tires 
  legs bend, stockinged I am Twiggy 
  and I don't mind the horror that surrounds me 
  self-worth scatters, self esteem's a bore 
  I long since moved to a higher plateau 
  this discipline's so rare so please applaud 
  just look at the fat scum who pamper me so 
  yeh 4st. 7, an epilogue of youth 
  such beautiful dignity in self-abuse 
  I've finally come to understand life 
  through staring blankly at my navel.
