I Give Up

by BleedingAngel   Oct 5, 2007


My throat is sore
And my eyes in tears
My little ritual
I've had for years

This will keep the fat
Off my wide hips
I have to do this
If food touches my lips

I have gained weight
And I hate what I see
In the mirror this fat girl
Is starring back at me

I can't fit my clothes
Because I am too fat
No guy wants a girl
Who looks like that

I try really hard
Not to eat ever day
But still I gain weight
So why starve anyway

I will never be perfect
Or even that beautiful
I think I will give up now
I will let go of the control

    Such a sad poem. I can see myself in this poem. It's awful what you went through. You described everything so simple but yet so meaningful. Amazing poem.

    Beautiful opening..really pulls on the reader's heart strings. i was thrown of at the end due to the fact beautiful and control don't really rhyme yet the rest of the poem did. a very moving and heartfelt write.
