Emaciation ( /ɨˌmeɪʃiːˈeɪʃən/ or /ɨˌmeɪsiːˈeɪʃən/) is defined as extreme weight loss and thinness due to a loss of subcutaneous fat (the fatty, or adipose tissue beneath the skin) and muscle throughout the body. It affects human beings and animals, is often described as "wasting", and is caused by severe malnourishment and starvation. Emaciation is a predominant symptom of malnourishment, a basic component of poverty and famine that also occurs with diseases that interfere with the digestive system and appetite, other systems, and eating disorders. These include nutrient deficiency disorders, diseases with prolonged fever and infection, malignant diseases, parasitic infections that can result from contamination, anorexia nervosa and other conditions. The malnourishment associated with emaciation has been referred to as "inanition", while infection by parasites has been described as "adulteration". Treatment of emaciation includes gradual renourishment with a slow increase of daily caloric intake to help rebuild tissues and regain weight. Rest, and emotional and psychological therapy and support may be included.
She stands
so high in front of me
slave, serve
humiliated
under her high
leading will
now hunting
my weak human dreams
all falling
under this
made of pain whip
As a point
in my life
she's a mark
I can't delete
slave in will
serve in life
with my pride
under her lead
reinforced every night
she returns
to take rule
I need it
she enslaves my pride
salt on my wounds
she's whipping my pride
