The Failing's In Society's Image.

by Hallo A Lilium   May 20, 2009


Swimsuit terrors inside these eyes
Emotional windows reserve lies
Desecration of one's mind
Tales of the anonymously blind

Beauty portrays the media deceivers report
Make an appointment with life abort resort
Hidden beyond deaths slowly ascending door
Acceptance in a world that we only abhor

Food looks unappetizing with its splendor
People unlike us go for seconds or more
Hollow cheeks and no muscles to speak for
Angels knock on our stomachs empty floor

Futile efforts to lose nonexistent weight
We sit at the table but don't fill a dinner plate
The turmoil within us shows no respite
The mirrors show obesity to our utmost contrite

The demon commercials on earth repose their symphonies
A beautiful person deranged from false epiphanies
Rejected at any size in society's cruel picture book
Labeled now as anorexics because our pride the magazines took.

    You did a great job capturing anerexia in this write to your best ability. I thought that you spoke of everything, from how someone thats anerexic wont eat anything, and looks at themselves in the mirror and believes they are obese when really they are only seeing the opposite, because they are basically skin and bones. I have not much else to say, I thought you did good writing off such a huge topic such as anerexia... its nice to read something from you again, I havent been able to in a while, and thank you for your comments as well...

    I think you have a lot of potential, i want to say that right away, but i also think you can do better. i think you are holding back a little or maybe this is just how you write for right now but i do think you could do better if you tried. The rhyming was good but sometimes it seemed kind of weak (eyes and lies) don't get me wrong i also have very weak rhymes and i know that but you said you wanted criticism and this is just what i think. like i said before i think you have a lot of potential i just think you need to work on it a bit
