Anorexia

By DarkXIris

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I've been looking for a way out of this I was stupid enough to start and it's hard to quit but I won't: not until my clothing fits I can't quit: not until I'm perfect I've made myself sick and It's all my fault: I'm anorexic This is what I thought I wanted to be I look in the mirror: I'm disgusted with what I see I want to look like the people in the magazines I want to be beautiful- i want to be pretty I was one-hundred and fifty: now I'm down to one-hundred and three Bound by invisible chains: when will I be free? I want to quit: it's easier said than done I feel so alone: I think I'm the only one Living in a cruel society- who's to blame? I have an eating disorder, it has a name: Anorexia Written February 16th, 2002 © on Feb 16 2002 02:15 PM PST   18 • 0 • 9
