Eating Disorder

by Alicia M   May 7, 2007


I know the right words to say
And I don't know how I turned this way
But when I lost a little weight
I turned a new direction towards my new fate

When you told me the compliment
I should have took it as a hint
On the inside I am crying
But on the outside I am lying

The simple words like I dont feel well or i am on a diet
You actually look at me and buy it
It is so easy to be deceitful
Every pound I lose I feel wonderful

In the mirror I see my bulging skin
I have gone so far Ill stop eventually but I don't know when
I want to wait till I look thin and be society perfection
And not listen anymore boys rejections

I think its gone too far I lost too many pounds
An when people see me no one makes a sound
I hear snickers and jokes this is not it
I never wanted any of this one bit

I dont know how to make this end
And I just want to accepted it and begin my life again

    This write touched my heart ,very well written.It breaks my heart to see young girls these days doing anything they possibley can just to 'fit-in' with society.Then again its not just young girls as all my life I have battled with my weight ,I was successfull once at losing it following a comment from a 12 yr old in a park who said to me I should not be on the climbing frame with my son as it might break.Life can be so cruel ,and its a shame for we should all be accepted for who we are and not feel the need to change.
