i know girls

i know girls who don't eat for a week before they see their boyfriends.

i know girls who stand in front of the mirror and mentally will themselves

to be physically thinner even though their bmi tells the rest of the world that

they are severely underweight. i know girls who hate everything they

will eat, and everything they ate.


i know girls who dress provocatively, because your brains do not

attract people as much as a freshly-shaved slab of thigh meat. i know

girls who get into debt for the sake of a little black dress because

as long as you look easy, it doesn't matter if you can't make ends

meet. i know girls who date boys they don't like based on the justification,

'well, a girl's got to eat.'


i know girls who refuse to speak out, refuse to make eye contact,

in the hope that they'll leave with a small shred of ego in tact because,

some girls seem to be easy prey.


i know some girls who are full of words, that they're not quite sure how to say.
