To My Friends...(About Anorexia)

This goes out to everyone...
To my Ignorant friends
and to the people who
reached the deadly end
by following a meaningless
stupid eating trend.

This is for the people
who willingly ate less food,
who suffered a depression
on which they chewed,
who couldn't ignore comments,
even as they got rude.

To be skinny
and flawless at any cost,
willing to risk their life
as weight they tossed.
That is the high price
that marks their loss.

My friend, you never realized
that your pretty as can be.
Your lack of self-esteem
is what others cant see.
I know your true story
because you just like me.
