Anorexia -
March 9th 2009, 06:41 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

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
