*The^Forgotten^Girl*

by Danielle   Apr 16, 2004


I was once this girl
Who loved everything and everyone
Now I sit and wait my death
Or the embrace of the sun

I began to get obsessed
A stupid little girl
Her image and body
All important in the world

I cant get past this obsession
Now Im in this room
Staring at the stale bread
Awaiting my doom

My stomach yells for attention
But Im alone in my mind
No one is around
Nothing will get inside

Now as I look at this thing in the glass
Unable to see the beauty inside
My life goes on as an act
I will die more in time

The body of this monster
Blinds me with tears
Falling down this forgotten face
No one knows my fears

Voices yelling youre Fat
Always in my head
Voices yelling awful things
The mean things they have said

Always hungry but never give in
You can see the circles around my eyes
They're telling me I'm sick I know
But I can't let them see, I can't cry

My battle rages daily
My body punished every hour
Its screaming for life
God, I'm such a coward

Too weak to brush my hair
Too weak to say the needed word
Im screaming inside for someone
Help me in this world

I sit in this darkness
Amidst of my fears
Sobbing for my old life
But again no one hears

Im a forgotten little girl
A shouldve, couldve tale
People will talk about me
My face so weak and pale

I remember watching a movie
a girl sobbed at her limp skeleton,
So blind, but still has eyes
As she cursed too fat at her reflection

Now as I stare in the glass
I realize what a waste
Im just like that little girl
Longing for that forgotten taste

The zest of life is not with me
Im alone in this world
Thin, Young thing at fourteen
Remember the forgotten girl

  • Hey, nicely done. I believe I detected a hint of depression in that one. But seriously, nicely put. Keep writing.
