Sharp Bones

by lexi   May 8, 2013


As I slide my fingers across my sharp hip bones, sharp collar bones, and rib cage
I realize people can be so cruel.
Why say things that are not true
I never did anything to you.

You made me believe your lies
You made me cry.
You made me purge all the time.
You got to me I turned down what I used to love,

It took over my life I've changed alot
When I look in the mirror I see something im not
I see a fat ugly cow even though im only 90 pounds
It's a scary thought

Dull hair and hair loss, pale skin
This is what I have become
I never go out in the sun
I stay inside
Wanting to die

I hope your happy
I became what you said I wasn't
But now I'm dying

    Baaahhhh. This makes me sad.
    Being a recovering anorexic/bp subtype ; I totally get this. It's one of the hardest things to overcome.

    Try forming a more positive outlook. :) Things can change, and you'll begin to see yourself clearly.

    This poems is so full of emotion. Mostly pain, You do a great job of putting your feelings into poetry. The way you describe the way your body looks, makes it seem as if the reader is really looking at you. Great writing! Don't stop.

    This is... Amazing but it's so, so sad. Bullies are horrible and you wrote what happens to a LOT of kids, unfortunately. Nicely done.
