Deceitful Anorexia.

by DeathlyAmore   Jun 21, 2007


She forms her index and middle fingers together,
As she cries for the disgust and hatred of her mirror.
She opens her jaw and takes out her tongue.
As she tears her cheeks the fingers get nearer.

She forces the finger inside with guilt burning inside her.
As the evening dinner rushes out to the air and into the sink.
She tears excessively from the thought of her mirror.
As she pours overwhelming fragrance to cover the stink.

She looks into her mirror and see's not what she is.
She sees someone of 400 when she is 100 and 2
She gargles one last time to remove the stench of her mouth.
Again, again, she will choke and will redo.

She will always see herself not as she really as.
Just like tens of thousands of women out there.
They will loose their lives and loose all so dear.
They will not stop, hurting all those, who they so devotedly care's.

Main Point, Thesis, Plot:
"Anorexia is deceitful.
To see what is not there.
It happens to all people around us.
Hurting forever the people that person is close to.
And they rarely are aware of it"

    If is talking about purging then it is not anorexia it is bulimia. But if it is starving and purging then it would be ED-NOS. That is what I have. Maybe you should change the title away from anoreixa

    I liked this, but I after reading it I am left with a strong feeling you do not have the eating disorders you have described. Am I right?

    If I am not then I do apologise, and congratulate you on your ability to detatch yourself from the emotions you feel.

    It's a nice poem.

    You described bulimia/anorexia really well in this peice of writing. Youve kinda got this feeling of an outsider imagining what the life of someone with this eating disorder is. Yet in the begining of the poem you are describing purging. The last stanza really shows that your writing from an outsider point of veiw. But i really liekd this veiw on this. Becuase usually when i read poems about eating diosorders there usually about someone hvaing the eating disorder. So it was quite a refreshing read. Your rhyme scheme was good and worked well for this read. One thing i didnt like about the last stanza was how you said "they will not stop" and how they're hurting all those who care. This just made me feel like there purposely hurting those who care and they dont even want to stop. Me? Im bulimic as you know but i am honestly trying to recover. Its just hard to, you know?
    But still other then that i felt the poem had a good flow, the structure was good and the rhyme scheme worked well. It was really well written. Like ive dsaid i like this outsider looking in this youve got going on.
    Thank you for your comments and sorry ive taken so long to return them.
