Fight for life, fight for death.

Fight for life, fight for death.

Every day it gets harder
With this beating at my soul
Every day it gets louder
I'm starting to lose this control

God help me with this sadness
I cant seem to find the strength
I'm falling in to madness
Being pulled in length by length

The disgust is present in my eye's
Hope lost with the feel of stabbing knifes
Looking down at the table, I hear its cries
Wishing I didn't have to feed it what I've deprived

Body and mind fight head and head
One will save me, the other I'll be dead
Knowing that knowledge wont change my fate
The only thing on my mind is losing weight

This poem is about the fight between my body and my mind. Body telling me to feed myself and my mind telling me not to. There is no category for body image.....

    "I'm stating to lose this control"

    Do you mean starting in this sentance by any chance?

    "God help me with this sadness
    I cant seem to find the strength
    I'm falling in to madness
    Being pulled in length by length "

    I love this stanza, it flows so well almost as if it just slides off teh tongue.

    "Body and mind fight head and head
    One will save me, the other I'll be dead
    Knowing that knowledge wont change my fate
    The only thing on my mind is losing weight"

    Is there anything more powerful in this poem than this part right here? I think not. that part is superb.

    overall, this poem is amazing through the story it tells because it happens to be true to so many people, a dangerous road to tread and so hard to break, ive been there what with used to being fat in the past lol. the sadness within those words you typed are very much clear as day and thats a good thing toward the poem but not for the problem at hand. this is a hard piece to read when the reader can relate to every single word written. this is amazing. and I applaude you for telling it so clearly.
