ED contest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~WINNERS AT BOTTOM~~~~~~~~~~

Picture Perfect.

I can't go to the beach with you,
that bikini is still ever so small.
I have to reach the wanted image,
perfection oozing from my pores.
(I can't escape this hell..)

Will I ever be skinny enough,
thin enough to satisfy myself?
They say the camera adds 10 pounds,
yet 10 pounds is adding too much.
(Stop me before I fall..)

No, I can't go to lunch with you,
that skirt fits much too tight.
I'm sorry I keep rejecting you,
it just hurts too much to eat.
(I'll never be picture perfect..)

Bleed Your Lullaby (ED)

A thousand times
My heart bleeds your lullaby
Pain, such a tortuous task
Beat me, bruise me
Your words are like arrows
Into my Achilles heal

Your words of love
Make me believe they're true
With false tense of lyrics
That sang your sullen lullaby
Wish me goodnight once more
To my tears from my heart

Your hands on my body
They make me feel disgusted
As your humming desires
Cut me open once more
Bleeding deeply inside
I still feel you inside me

Your burning whispers
I've fallen into your grasp
And I'm withering away
Your desire to keep me thin
Leaves you, my Anna
Singing melodies of torture

Don't eat
Don't eat

Decaying slowly
Flesh is gone
Bone exposed
Locked in my tomb
Forever night
Searching
For my soul
Never
To be found
Looking for heaven
Trapped in hell
A skeleton
Far from dead
Further from life

Title: The Failing's In Society's Image.
Written By: FeignOctober

Swimsuit terrors inside these eyes
Emotional windows reserve lies
Desecration of one's mind
Tales of the anonymously blind

Beauty portrays the media deceivers report
Make an appointment with life abort resort
Hidden beyond deaths slowly ascending door
Acceptance in a world that we only abhor

Food looks unappetizing with its splendor
People unlike us go for seconds or more
Hollow cheeks and no muscles to speak for
Angels knock on our stomachs empty floor

Futile efforts to lose nonexistent weight
We sit at the table but don't fill a dinner plate
The turmoil within us shows no respite
The mirrors show obesity to our utmost contrite

The demon commercials on earth repose their symphonies
A beautiful person deranged from false epiphanies
Rejected at any size in society's cruel picture book
Labeled now as anorexics because our pride the magazines took.

Obsessed~Retourne

I can still hear them whispering,
Everyone thinks I'm paranoid,
But I'm only being cautious,
Careful of so much of my life.

Everyone thinks I'm paranoid,
Too tormented by the numbers,
My reflection in the mirror,
Puts me to shame when I observe.

But I'm only being cautious,
Staying healthy and eating less,
Still I gain and more people stare,
Distress has dominated thoughts.

Careful of so much of my life,
What people think affects me most,
I don't have that perfect body,
Like all the skinny models do.

--------------------------------------

A Retourne is a French poetry form that consists of four quatrains (four-line stanzas), with each line having eight syllables. The trick is though that the first stanza's second line must also be the second stanza's first line, the first stanza's third line is the third stanza's first, and the first stanza's fourth line is the fourth stanza's first. Retournes can but do not have to rhyme.

Framed Insanity

Framing all my imperfections
The mirror mocks my soul,
Trapped inside this hideous flesh
This girl no longer whole

If I make my insides pour
To continue this sickened fight,
A sculpture to behold I'd be
A beauty within the light

Where now lies the splendour
In a hollow vacant shell,
Gouging forever at my soul
Damming myself to this hell

Sanity knows not my name
For this monster I've become,
Obsessed with moronic fashions
Too late now the damage is done

This sickness is a constant shadow
A fruitless battle I cannot win,
Forever will I fade away?
For one day Mirror I will be thin
