Empty
By Noelani
Living on an empty stomach In a world of voices who scold Telling me, in my tummy should suck People know not of this voice, for I've never told Afraid they might see the truth. This stomach of mine Has been empty for so long I'm walking down a path so fine A path so serene, it could not be wrong How misleading this path is. Images in the mirror show me a girl A girl so thin, yet hidden within A sudden gust of wind, sends her hair in a whirl So fragile, stumbling, so light...an odd grin appears on her face. I'm almost there Just a little more, a few more days I promise I'll stop, I swear I know you don't like my ways But please, don't tell what to do, it's not fair.This is about a girl who's lying to herself. She says she'll stop, but she's so secretly happy that she's so light, even a small gust of wind can throw off her balance. In a way, it's about me...but I never let myself go too far. I always felt in control of what I didn't and did eat. Written October 8th, 2001 © on Oct 08 2001 12:02 PM PST 18 • 0 • 1
