A Bulimic Perspective

by ¤©h€€®ƒüll¥♥©¥ñ!c@l¤   Jan 25, 2005


This is NOT about me, its in the perspective of my friend. I'm REALLY worried about her.
______________________________________

Society has made me like this, made me feel so bad
About my looks, my weight, my confidence gets meeker
Diets, make up, and everything in between,
With every new attempt, my patience grows weaker

Looking in the mirror, it seemed I was bulging
Out from all my sides. Chubby cheeks trim my face
“Who would date a girl so ugly, so fat as me?”
I thought, I looked like such a disgrace.

I had nothing to turn to, not one thing in sight
My last resort, to throw up everything I ate
Meal after meal, Day after day, night after night
The confidence came back; I actually started to lose weight

Then the side affects came, my hair falling out
Still I kept my mouth shut, no one to tell
Binge after binge, purge after purge
Not even knowing I was in such a hell

I though I was looking better, but I really wasn’t
Internally, my body was crashing slowly before my eyes
But I just couldn’t stop; it was a part of me now
I actually liked being so thin, so small in size

    this is a very sad poem. and it is very sad about your friend. it must be horrible, i hope that one day she will gain the understanding that people love her for who she is, and she should love herself for that too, not by being a slave to the media or society. i really hope she gets better, and starts to be comfortable undernieth her own skin and not an image in a magazine. send my love in thought. and if it gets really bad, i dunno if she is seeking help, but she really should, or even you could to get some advise.
    good luck.
    great poem, and very well written,
