The Anorexic Display

by Simple Sensation   Aug 1, 2007


Pay more attention to those around you;
Count every single thing which goes through.
Every single calorie is one too much
One gram of fat creates a panicking touch.

Stare at pictures of your ideal;
This will help stay away from the meal.
You wear your sweet pretty smile;
Lie and say you only ran one mile.

You eat your own meat - muscle not fat
Your skin goes dry, your hair turns flat.
Your bones turn brittle, breaking bones
Your mind enters this 'depression zone'.

Your skin is bruised, lanugo grows
You're so cold, you hide behind cloths.
You are so much pain yet cannot stop,
You keep falling. Drop. Drop.

This is Anorexia Nervosa or Ana as they say
Just some things which Ana displays...

    Oh your topic was so current and your words were so suitable and advanced for this wonderful masterpiece..You described things about anorexia so well

    My fave lines are;

    Your skin is bruised, lanugo grows
    You're so cold, you hide behind cloths.
    You are so much pain yet cannot stop,
    You keep falling. Drop. Drop.

    Keep it up,
