Anorexia

by Theresa   Jul 31, 2006


Magazines and television
Model pretty girls
Thier bodies perfect and so thin
Thier hair all up in curls
I want to feel my skin, my bones
Changing into something beautiful
But sometimes I think
Looking like that may take a miracle
I push the corn and beans
All around my plate
Maybe that will convince them all
That I really ate
I can see my bones now
Showing through my skin
Which has grown so very pale
Which has grown so very thin
All I drink is water
All I eat is cotton balls
To make my stomach think its full
Perhaps I'll make it after all
People seem to notice
And ask if I've lost weight
Though I'm often sick in bed
At least I'm looking great
I'm taking it slowly
A little less each day
Slowly I'll turn beautiful
As I drop the pounds away
Everyday, looking in the mirror
I can't help but fret
Saying, "I'll just have to eat less."
telling myself, "Not yet"

    Ummm... I wrote a poem that was similar to this one, about starving myself, but I really wasn't, it just looked like I was. But I guess your poem is actually talikng about starving your self. I really don't like the idea of the poem. But it did have a nicce flow to it.

    It is a sad poem.but full of emotion. im sorry anorexia has a grip on you. it takes so many people each year.. Mostly because of peer pressure. Keep the writing up .. its good. xxx
