Crime That Should Not Be Committed

by Jessica   Jun 21, 2006


How can she do this?
Doesn't she understand?
It is killing her body..
And it is destroying her spirit..

If she is feeling sad or angry
She quickly runs upstairs
And dutifully sticks her finger
Down her sore throat..
Vomiting up all her problems
Hoping that this will get rid of them..

Why, oh why does she do this?
It makes me feel so angry
So helpless..
I cannot help her..
For she will not listen to me
She does not seem to understand
She does not seem to care..

I cannot watch her do this to herself..
But I don't know how to stop her..
She knows that it is wrong
But she can just not seem to end it..

As everyday passes by
She loses more and more weight
Her skin, hair, and soul
Lose every goodness within them..
All because of this stupid habit
This crime that should not be committed..

How can she do this?
Doesn't she understand?
It is killing her body..
And it is destroying her spirit..

    Wonderful poem and the topic you chose was perfectly well described. I know how difficult it may be to write about this, but it will be worthwhile if it helps to any reader who goes through the same. You really gave us some food for thought, keep writing!

    I liked this poem alot. I went through a stage where I was making myself throw up, not because I thought I was fat though, I was cutting and I had to stop, and I got so stressed out and had to find another why to let everything out? If that makes sense.

    Anywho, Your friend is very lucky to have you. And, I hope all goes well for her. Very good poem, Jessy. You did a great job! 5/5
