No one notices

8 am wake up

Get ready to take on the day

8:30 go to school

Time passes

My body is trembling with emptiness

"Keep going," I tell myself

Only a little longer

1:07 go to lunch

Sit and watch

"Almost there" is what keeps me on track

"Your goals are right around the corner."

I keep reminding myself to hold on

My body is trembling with emptiness

But no one notices

My head feels light as a feather

My heart is beating like a boy shaking a tambourine 

"Suck in" is what I say

Wow, look at that, you're doing great

Thoughts are racing through my head

Confrontation is all I feel

Yearning for something so close yet untouchable

2:22 go home

You did it

My body trembles with emptiness 

But no one notices

Do it again tomorrow, is what I remind myself

"Lily, you look so skinny."

As my body trembles with emptiness 

Wow, someone finally noticed.
