in the case of eugenia cooney

 
 
 
i ask people
why they watch
documentaries  
about serial  
killers  
 
why are they
fascinated by  
heinous crimes  
they plan to  
commit?
 
why do people  
claim empathy
 
but decide  
watching a  
human die
slowly?
 
i realise there
are always two
talking points
about eating
disorders  
 
in regards to
eugenia cooney,
 
they don't
consider what  
her platform  
has allowed
her to do
 
it allowed her
brother to go
into college
 
it's putting  
a roof over
her own  
family,
 
nobody  
stops to  
consider  
 
why she
continues  
to create  
content  
 
or why she
still remains
emaciated
& unwell,
 
there are  
always two
talking points
about eating
disorders  
 
but nobody
dares to stop
and look at  
their own
hands,
 
how clickbait
entertainment
turns into a  
serial killer
 
in other  
words  
you.
