Skinny is a skinny word.
S slim
K Kill hunger.
I In a trance.
N need for perfection
N no satisfaction
Y young and destroyed.
Its as simple as It sounds
You suffer
At the hands
Of
Well you
Every day
All day
Any day
Until you
Crawl back into bed
and sleep away the pain.
Yea skinny, it’s a skinny word.
Its full of nothing and that’s the way it likes it
