One thirty three

by Emily   Aug 23, 2005


You cow! he yells
Just to hurt her
Her pride swells down
Her thoughts a blur

She hops on the scale
one thirty three
She thinks its big
But she's just thirteen

She doesn't eat
for two whole days
and feels beautiful
Losing the weight

one twenty nine
But it isn't enough
Her mom makes her eat
So she decides to throw up

one twenty five
She's not satisfied
She wants to be beautiful
and wants to have pride

one nineteen
She has to be less
Her ribs start to show
She looks like a mess

The scale imprisons her
dictates her life
Just to look skinny
health's the sacrifice

one hundred nine
ten whole pounds
she can't ruin this
She can't stop now

at one hundred five
she thinks its enough
But now she's addicted
and just can't stop

Three weeks pass
And she's feeling sick
She's only at eighty three
and losing weight quick

at eighty pounds
Her mom is scared
She takes her to the hospital
And they put her in care

In those machines
She doesn't feel pretty
She thought she'd look beautiful
but sits in self pity

She finally fades away
The monitors go blank
A thirteen year old died
The scale she can thank

it took fifty three pounds
For her to realize
Skinny isn't beautiful
The beauty's inside
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I don't care on it's realism. Point is, that I'm one of the girls around one thirty three. I'm one of the girls who feels like she'll never be a model. I'm one of the girls who want to help the girls and save themselves.

    Wonderful poem, though i think it fits the sad and depression or death subject better. it's really got a deep message but i do agree you use her and she a lot in this poem but i believe if you can write a poem this good with such a good message at hand you can surely be able to fix it up wonderfully!

    I got the chills and i'm about to cry....this is a touching poem....

    "The scale imprisons her
    dictates her life
    Just to look skinny

    one hundred nine
    ten whole pounds

    She can't stop now

    at one hundred five
    she thinks its enough
    But now she's addicted
    and she just can't stop"

    those lines caught my attention...lately i haven't been eating as much, i've been eating, but not as much as i usually do, because i want to look good....and those stanzas mad me think "if i succeed in stopping myself from eating, yeah, i'll get skinny, but i'll get so caught up in it and i won't stop, i'll keep on going..." this poem made me think...thank you...i still want to not eat as much, but i'll eat enougn now...keep up the great work...and take care *hugs*
