Becoming Bulimic

by TragicRomance   Jul 22, 2005


It's hard to see a person make a big mistake,
a mistake so big, they can never escape;

Her body starts eating away at her flesh,
she could never find a breath to catch;

She gets waker after every purge,
in her insecurities, she would submerge;

She pukes again, and she is not yet done,
she does it again, the day has just begun;

As her body eats away at it's self,
she doesn't know she is loosing her health;

She can't stop, nor can she quit,
now she's facing the ugly truth, she's an addict;

There is nothing left to eat away at,
no more protein, no more fat;

She didn't see what she wanted, so she kept purging herself,
she never once asked for help;

She knew it was wrong, but did it out of strife,
this mistake marked the end of her life;

No more puging, no killing her health,
she now doesn't worry about imperfections nor herself;

She heard about the case, thought she was aware
she wasn't really, until she ended up in this nightmare;

She purged herself until her insides tore,
she never tried to stop, now she is no more;
