I’m in love with my bones
And I want everyone to see
My hair is falling out
But not because I’m hungry
So no more food
Don’t feed me for free
Stop helping me eat
Don’t make me feel like I’m nobody
The smell of food makes me sick
I just want to be skinny
Why does everyone fail
At fucking the sadness out of me?
When I finally take a bite
Bury my body under a willow tree
I’ll rot in the ground
Let the bugs pick at me

Grim. Convincing. The first line is a strong hook, and then the poem has some real emotional strength.
