STARVING

by kiki   Feb 18, 2012


Pound by pound
i drop
inch by inch
with out a stop
i'm hunger striking without a cause
just to purge these ugly flaws
they tell me it's all in my mind
but believing them isn't fine
i'll try and try
because i'd rather die skinny
than live being fat

i know if i eat one thing
i'd eat everything
hence i eat nothing
it's hard starving
but its working

call it a sickness
call it an obsession
call it a disease
but i call this perfection

    I really love your poem. I felt every word and I am sure many people with eating disorders will relate. I have suffered with bulimia on and off for years now and I know what its like to feel that need for control.

    I like this poem but think it might sound better if you ended it with "perfect" instead of perfection
