Poetry: Addiction

PERFECTION IS CONTAGIOUS

She walks through the halls with her head held high.
You see her.
All the guys watch as she walks by.
You want to be her.
She's pretty and so thin.
You wish you were.
She has plain salad for lunch.
You envy her willpower.
She eats some of her boyfriend's pizza.
You see her cringe.
You walk into the bathroom.
She's there.
Her eyes are red and swollen.
She's washing her hands.
You realize what she does.
But you don't care.
And soon you do it too.

    Blurry shards of accusation
    fall near to where I kneel
    a slave
    waiting for more sugar coated poison
