Anerexic Her

Eat Eat Eat!
Gain Gain Gain!
Consuming my mind.
Causing me pain.
Lose Lose Lose!
One more day
I'm getting closer
to who I wish to portray.
Take one more step.
Lose one more pound.
I'll be the prettiest
girl in town!
What? Exercise not working?
Theres another way.
Give up some more food.
Eat every other day.
I'm hungry, I'm starving.
Get out of my face.
I need to do more
run at a faster pace.
Exercising, no food.
Energies burning.
I need just one more bite
To cure this yearning.
Why did I eat that?
What did i do?
lets go to the bathroom.
And try something new.
I'm still not skinny.
I need to lose more.
Give up all food.
A key to the last door.
I'm finally skinny.
Look, my bones show!
How do I look now?
I need to know.
Oh, this strange reflection.
It cannot be me!
Who is that girl?
What do I see?
Your eyes are sunken in.
Your hair is thinning.
Your face has no color.
Your gums are receding!
Where is the beauty
you wanted to be?
Do you like yourself now?
Do you like what you see?!?

(This is for all of you who profess to be my friend but because of jealousy you want to make me hate myself: I'm much stronger than that. And I look great but look at what your doing to yourselves!)

    Sasha, this is a really powerful and well written poem. It almost brought tears to my eyes. I have been through a very similar situation, and that made it all the more strong to me. The meter was flawless. Everything really came together nicely. I was glad to read your note at the bottom. It is sad to see the 'ideal' beauty be so thin and emaciated looking, that is what young women look up to, and it is not healthy. I'm glad to see that you are standing up for yourself, and that you realize what is healthy and not. Keep fighting, it is tough, but not impossible! Keep your chin up soldier.

    Well done,
