Anorexia

by Miranda   Dec 2, 2006


Blurred images
Coming in and out of focus
Pain, temptation
Just one little bite....
No
You've come too far
You're the one in charge here
The difference between Want and Have
Is self control
Put down that fork
Good girls don't swallow
You're still not skinny enough
Nobody wants a fat girl
Don't listen to the doctors
You don't need to gain weight
You still have fat to lose
Don't give up on perfection

...3 weeks later...

Look at the progress you've made
Down to 61 pounds
You're lying in a hospital bed
But you still refuse to eat
Looks like I've gotten inside your head
You're wasting away before your own eyes
Don't blame this on me
It was your desicion
I just supported the idea of perfection
It's your fault for going so far
I never cared about you
I called you names and said you were fat
Never good enough
You didn't have to listen to me
But look at you now
You're dying from starvation
I'm not going to save you
I'm not going to go away
I never cared at all
And I never will
I don't feel guilty for what I have done
I say you're fat and leave you to die
It is only my job.

    The first one shows a lot of emotion, the second one is a dialogue, an unusual but in this case good chosen combination.
    Keep on writing, with me, it helps to make up my mind and write pain of me.
