A friend

by TWiStEDxElAGANCE   Mar 31, 2007


I look in the mirror and what do i see
A fat ugly girl is all i can be
And even though they still tell me that I'm so skinny
I'm still surrounded in my own self pity

I never wanted to be this way i never wanted to
starve
But losing weight is my life its carved into my heart
I don't do it for attention
And no longer for the looks
I do it because i have to
Like a smoker I'm hooked
Just another 5 pounds id used to say
And now that I'm down to 105, I'm still fat and ugly in my mind

I never wanted to live this way
I hate lying to my mom and dad every day
I almost want to stop because I know I'm going to die
But to me its my heroin, its what makes me feel alive

It's kinda sad be really true
No one knows what cruel words can do to you

Sticks and stones will break my bones
But the words continue to starve me
I want it to stop i want it to end
I want someone to save me... I need a friend

    Hey,
    Just wanted to thank you for the comment and welcome you to the club! :)
    Anyways this is a sad sad poem... I'm perconally bulimic and yeah i know what an ED does to you. Swill break my bones
    AND the words will continue to starve me
    I want it to stop i want it to end
    I want someone to so if you ever, need to talk i'm hear for you k? PM/IM me anytime you like.
    Now back to the poem, i thought the structure could of used some work, you had some short lines and some long lines... if you made them all the same length then it would look more temting to read i guess. But i loved the emotion youve displayed so well in this poem. SO yeah an enjoyable read, keep writing!

    I htink this stanza;

    "Sticks and stones will break my bones
    But the words continue to starve me
    I want it to stop i want it to end
    I want someone to save me... I need a friend"

    Should be;

    "Sticks and stones will break my bones
    And the words continue to starve me
    I want it to stop... i want it to end
    I need someone to save me... I need a friend..."

    Maybe? I odnt know its your poem, but i think itll work better this way.
    Take care
    xx
