My friends said i was too thin
i know it was the truth
my bony frail body
showed all the proof
i could not help it
i just could not see
what other people see
when they look at me
my mirror is not my friend
it haunts my thoughts
it kills my body
making my stomach growl and rot
i will not go to the hospital
they will just make me gain
but my satisfaction of becoming thin
cant relieve the feel of pain
just another day at school
the air is on full blast
my world is spinning around me
my heart is racing fast
my body falls limp to the floor
they all just stare in surprise
the teacher runs to the phone
look of terror in her eyes
my friend came to hold me
noticing my lips were turning blue
hugging me in his warmth
and i guess i never knew
i am hurting my friends
so i could feel good for myself
an act of selfishness
and i realized...i needed help!!
tears formed in his eyes
as i lay faint in his arms
i tried to speak just a few words of comfort
to tell him i never meant to harm him
i gathered up the strength
and had the ability to say
a few words of love
"I'm going to be OK"
now today a healthy woman
i thank my friends for their help
in showing the great things about me
and how to love myself
~rate PLEASE~ and comments too~
(dedicated to my frnd ashley who is now recovering from anorexia, i put this all in her point of you so ASHLEY this poem is all yours! i miss u!)
