Hiding my pain

by Jamie   Aug 12, 2004


Why in this life am I dealt with such pain?
Some days i feel like I'm going insane,
What from this life could I possibly gain?

Why is it so many tear drops fall?
I sometimes feel but two inches tall,
Not wanting to walk, but merely to crawl.

I push my pain down,
It disappears with each bite,
Then I erase all my sorrow,
As I throw it up right.

I sometimes want to disappear in the mist,
Crying, then falling, while clenching my fists,
How can one shower bring so much pain, and yet so much relief,
Why is it i must suffer physically to dispense emotional grief,

This is what bulimia brings,
Bruised battered fists,
A burning throat that stings.

But relief of my aches, my grief, and my fears,
It's the simplest way of crying all my tears,
As i continue to hide all my pain for these years.

I'm so confused, so misunderstood,
I wish i could, would, should,

D..I...S....a.....p......e.......a........r
