Anorexia

Magazines and television
Model pretty girls
Their bodies perfect and so thin
Their hair all up in curls

I want to feel my skin, my bone
Changing into something beautiful
But sometimes I think looking like them
May take a miracle

I'll push around the corn and beans
All around my plate
Maybe I can convince them all
That I really ate.

I can see my bones now
Showing through my skin
Which has grown so very pale
Which has become so thin.

All I'll drink is water
And eat only cotton balls
To make my stomach think I'm full
Perhaps I'll make it after all

People seem to notice
And ask if I've lost weight
Though I'm often sick in bed
At least I'm looking great

I'm taking it slowly
A little less each day
Slowly I'll turn beautiful
As I drop the pounds away

Everyday, looking in the mirror
I can't help but to fret
Saying I'll just have to eat less
Telling myself, "Not yet."

Maybe one day my beauty
Will be known around the world
Maybe one day I'll be a model
A star, and a Cover Girl.

Author's Comments

This was a piece I wrote a few years in the form of a female even though all the info is about me cause I went through all of it myself. I dealt with Bulemia and Anorexia for over 2 years.

***Another great piece of poetry along these same lines can be found at: [link] Caitlyn's piece is both beautiful and haunting. I highly recommend this piece to anyone.

You tell me that I sin. You say I'm bound for hell. So once your judgement condemns you... I SHALL SEE YOU THERE.

I really love this.

I would put, "I don't care," but that would indicate that I do indeed care, and that I would want you to read that.

to tell you the truth, I wish that I would have never had the knowledge to write such a telling piece. Unfortunately, I have gone through Anorexia and Bulimia. Most people don't think that guys have these diseases but I think it attacks everyone. I am glad you like it.
