Enough isn't enough

Stomach growls
   But I plead it's silence
   Desperate the be perfect
   Whatever that means to me
   Numbers dance in my head
   A game I never win
   Calories counted like sin
   Trapped within my skin
   The whispers grow louder
   Telling me if not enough
  "Thinner" they say..
  But no matter how thin I get
  Thin is not thin enough
  Enough is never enough..
