Cosmo's 10 Best Weight Loss Tips -- 26 June 2017

Snack but smartly

Diet to shrink yourself

And give away that extra space that’s no longer yours

Don’t you know that space belongs to a man anyway?

Step on the scale daily

Play the numbers game

I’m at war with my body

As the numbers go down, there’s less of me to fight

Reach for your cell

Call your friend crying from the dressing room

Angry red welts

Poured into clothes and then good luck with breathing

Visualize yourself thin

Visualize yourself thin

Visualize yourself thin

If I don’t make these sacrifices

Just for the privilege of taking up space
Then their disdain is the rent I pay for the space of my body

D r i f t w o o d -- 21 April 2017

It’s like you don’t know what to say to me anymore

So all you say is “I love you”

And hope that’s enough to satisfy

But who ever told you love wasn’t supposed to hurt?

Because love has always been messy and hard and imperfect

And growing up shouldn’t mean growing cold

So maybe start trying to love me

Instead of just saying you do

Regret -- 14 April 2017

I came 3 times

And each one is tinged with regret

You played my body perfectly

The songs pulled from me will never be sung again

Maybe next time my melodies will be happier

Just Another One Sided Conversation -- 14 April 2017

I’d talk to you more if for a moment

I thought you’d hear what I was saying

I’m tired of screaming myself hoarse

Fissures -- 22 March 2017

I heard you tried to find me in someone else
You want to be loved so badly
That you can't recognize when you have it
So instead you fumble around in the dark
Looking for me between someone else's silk sheets
The way you break your own heart is so debilitating
Because half of the time you don't even know what you're breaking
And even God asks himself why
And shakes his head in disbelief

Graveyard Shift -- 23 February 2017

Do not plant your hopes in me

And leave them to die
My body will not be your graveyard

Deep Sea Diving -- 10 February 2017

You remind me of the deep sea

I feel vulnerable in your open waters

Your darkness hides parts of you that I can’t see

And the parts that I can see

Freak me the fuck out
And make me want you 80 million miles away from me
