Addictions

Addictions

A Poem by Shanella McKnight

We all have our addictions, whether it's big or small, or good or bad
Growing up, she had her addiction to the normal things:toys, hugs, love
But teenage years hit her along with her hormones
Always hungry
Always eating
One fateful day, someone she loved told her she was fat
Just like that, she changed
Always hungry
Never eating
Her new addiction: starving, losing weight, coming to love the bones spiking through her skin, looking like they want to jump out
We all have our addictions, whether it's big or small, or good or bad
