Anorexia -
March 9th 2009, 05:41 AM
“I don’t want to eat” I say, looking at her face.
My voice is so quiet now, she just hands me the plate.
When I don’t take it she asks me to repeat.
So I say with more volume “I don’t want to eat”.
I stand up to leave but she grabs my arm.
She says I must be hungry and I am, I am.
But I tell her I’m not and rush upstairs.
She shouts “You have to eat” but I just don’t care.
I stand in front of a mirror, my body makes me sick.
I wish I was a ‘magazine-girl’ beautifully thin as a stick.
But I’m so horribly fat, and I’m so disgustingly huge.
I can’t bear to look at myself or stand the sight of food.
I wake up one day, and I’m too weak to move.
The Doctor comes, says it’s from lack of food.
I’ve eaten so little so why am I still so big?
I’m told I’m dying of anorexia, two weeks to live.
I’m force-fed for a few days but I throw it back up.
They say I’m going to die but I just want to look good.
”I can’t be anorexic, I’m not even thin!”
I keep telling the Doctor but he’s not listening.
”I don’t want to eat” I say, hardly able to speak.
It’s difficult to do anything, my body is so weak.
I am rushed to hospital after I collapse.
They say I died of anorexia but I was still fat.
I will never be good enough for them
and it kills me every day

I love the poem, good job

I'm going to mark this as triggering.  Just because of the content for eating disorders and it may be triggering to some people.

I really liked this poem, the flow, the ryming, everything! Good job, keep writing!
You are beautiful just the way you are.
Looking like a fallen star.
Don't listen to what people say.
They don't know the real you, anyways.

I loved that poem. It was very beautiful (and so sad), but there is lots of beauty in sadness.
This is how it ends
We believe every lie & say we'll still be friends
How long will it last
Before we scratch all the scripts & rework the casts

It's sad that it does happen to people, anorexia can be such an awful illness.

On the contrary, anorexia itself is vital to life - not having an appetite (anorexia) is your body telling you to stop eating.
Anorexia nervosa on the other hand is an awful illness

Oh lee, how you amuse me.
i have no idea why i wrote this.... I dont write poems. I dont like poems. I think the word poem is a stupid word.
and i've been thinking about the jesus thing... it's confusing me so.... but it makes my friends laugh, so hope you dont mind that i stole it.
I will never be good enough for them
and it kills me every day
