Muscles

When I was a child, I never realised that people looked different,
I saw it, but it never registered.
And then I saw a picture at 16, of my face, all bony Bill-like -
and Grandad asked me, "Have you been getting enough protein?"
And he was right -
my face looks like it's melting down my cheekbones.
My arms, like they're bone, wrapped in layer after layer of cloth. But that's it.

No muscle there.
