I Look Like Death

by CHOKE   Apr 16, 2007


I'm too skinny;
I look like death.
You can see my bones,
But not my breath.

I slit my wrists,
And laugh out loud.
I look at you;
I'm not proud.

I burn my hand,
I smile in the mirror.
I did this to myself;
I am my own horror.

I made a mistake;
Please forgive me?
I hate who I am;
Please change me?

I'm too thin;
I look like murder.
I look in the mirror,
And see that I hurt her.

I can't help it.
I'm a mistake.
So here's my life;
It's yours to take.

    Hey,
    I chose this poem as the winner of the clubs poetry contest. Congratulations! :)
    I chose this poem for the Eating Disorder category because I loved how you described yourself as looking like death. The overall poem has a sense of death over it, and this personally reminds me that those with eating disorders may die. I loved the flow of the poem; I really enjoyed the usage of repetition, especially in the fourth stanza. The fourth stanza also seemed to me like she was pleading for help. Very emotional read. Congratulations CHOKE!
