Ana

by BleedingAngel   Jun 26, 2006


I feel a pain in my stomach
Haven't eaten anything today
I have learned to ignore it
So it eventually goes away

I didn't eat anything yesterday
Told them I was not hungry
And though I lied to them
They did not believe me

People are staring at me
Turning their heads in disgrace
Like have they seen a ghost
But it is just my pale face

My body is screaming for food
But I will not let it eat
Ana told me to be strong
But she made me so weak

The day I let Ana in my life
I promised her not to fail
So I have to have lost weight
Next time I stand on the scale

Skinny girls are all around me
I just wanna look like that
Starving myself for perfection
But all I have on me is fat

I want collarbones sticking out
And both my hipbones too
I wanna be light as a feather
And invisible to all of you

No food today, no food tomorrow
Not until Ana lets me eat
I will never let her down
She's the reason my heart beat

*Ana=Anorexia*

    Sabrina --
    Ahh, I see that`s your name. What a lovely name ;; that`s what my parents were going to name me! But I got stuck with Samantha Hollywood, not so bad, I guess. But, back to the poem --
    This was definitely an improvement frm your last poem I read. I really liked this one a lot ;; you did a great job! The flow and the rhyming didn`t seem too forced, which is good. Keep this up, wonderful job. 5/5.

    Love Much,

    Beautiful and wonderful poem. Excellent job in describing yourself and situation, it was very unique and a great pleasure to read. However, my side advice is kicking in and I really wish hun that you would hear me out on one thing. I had a friend who died from anorexia. A dear, dear friend. She was the light in everyone's hearts...lied about eating, starved herself every day, until her body failed her. She had collapsed outside, walking alone, and slipped into a coma that never went into remission. She was found on a deserted street possibly two hours later, her body cold without life. When I think of her I wish I could change anyone's hearts which move towards anorexia or bulemia. It kills my soul really, I wish I could be of a help but no one ever takes my advice anyway, as you can see. Take care, and be well.
