Story of ednos (eating disorder not otherwise specified)

by Amy   Mar 12, 2008


This thing called ednos
Has taken control
The less I eat
The more I'm whole

Night after night
Day after day
I count my calories
That's the only way

I have to be thin
I can and I will
But in the meantime
I'll try harder still

When skipping meals
Isn't doing enough
I'll run to the bathroom
And throw it all up

I wish for the day
I will step on the scale
And see the number
That means I didn't fail

Though my body is weak
My mind is strong
With the way I'm living
It won't be too long

    I'm sorry you if you have an eatig disorder. It's a serious thing. Maybe you should get some help. I may not know you very well. But it would be very sad if you left this world

    This touched me in so many ways, as it's something i can relate to very much. the depth and emotion in this poem is beautifully portrayed and tugged on my heart strings throughout reading the piece. while i found this poem to be filled with such melancholy i still found it to be a beautiful write and this brought up so many conflicting emotions for me whilst reading. the only thing i wasn't to keen on was your constant use of i as it seemed to disturb the flow for me at times. try eliminating some of those and you'll probably find the flow to be a lot smoother throughout. saying that, i still think this is a wonderful write, and if it's true my heart goes out to you. just remember that nothing is worth endangering your life, i used to think the cycle of ana would never end..But i'm getting better slowly. again, a wonderful write.
