Missing ________

Content.
Schedules full. Every hour precise.
Skipped lunch again.
She said I looked thinner.
Thank you so much.
I want that. To be thinner.
I'm brainwashed to believe it will make me better.
Or, at least equal.
Desirable.
Perfect sparkling skin. Tanned... smooth.
Heart shaped lips. Curves... everywhere.
Big beautiful eyes.
Eyes that see.
X-rays for a soul.
Your soul.
I know what you did.
I see what you're doing.
Stop. Please STOP.
Before it's too late. Before we lose you to them.
Be the person I first met.
Stop indulging in their attention.
They only use you. Emotionally abuse you.
Hypocrite. I tell you not to do exactly what I'm doing.
I don't know.
All I really know is that I want you to be yourself.
I don't want you to change like you are.
I don't want you to forget what's important.
Stop wearing your heart on your sleeve.
I'm trying my best to lock mine back in my chest.
But yours still dangles off your wrist.
Like bait for ravenous feelings of lonliness.
You'll know what to do if you look.
If you accept.
Be my friend, or don't. Choose.
Stop making me doubt you.
I can see who you can be.
YOU ARE DIFFERENT.
Love it.
For your own sake.
