Anorexia Kills.

by Marta   Aug 23, 2004


I've isolated myself in this cage
Darkness surrounds my inner self
Enjoying the aching pain as I go
Anorexia has destroyed my health.

Inside, I can't stand it any longer
I've become so emotionally ill
The oustide it bleeds even more
Myself, one day I shall kill.

Looking in that flawless rusty mirror
I see an image of fat and disgust
Telling someone, feels so guilty
None of them I can hardly trust.

Hating everything on the outside
Even the inside is sickening
I hate all the things about me
The pain is thickening.

Everyone around me is full of joy
They're all beautiful and complete
I'm the only one that stands out
And feels so incomplete.

I'm the misfit in this environment
No where do I ever really belong
These people don't care to help
I'm always just the tag-along.

These voices telling me what to do
In my mind they're screaming
My suicidal actions finally come true
And no longer am I dreaming.

    Wow, such talent for being 14. I know exactly how it feels to always think that your fat, for I myself suffer from the same disorder that you discribe, it has been fifteen years now since I was last hospitalized, but I still see nothing but a lard of fat everytime I look in a mirror; I even refuse to step on scales to this day! Keep up the great work.
