[hometext] => This is a weird twisted poem about anorexia...I feel that anorexia is a form of suicide, and it is also assosiated with depression, cutting, and bulimia...Please read and comment.
[bodytext] => Concave, emaciated, underweight.
These are the words I have grown to hate
I hurt, I scream, I pull at my skin
Nothing is good enough- I cannot win
My body is useless- my life, a mess
Thinking about food is a constant stress
Self-starvation, laxatives, relentless strife
I can’t believe I’m living this same stupid life
The pain, the hate-I’m messed in the head
Every morning I wake up- I wish I were dead
Frustrations, irritation- every pound, every inch
You’d think losing weight would be more of a cinch
The knife that I cut with is the same kind of tool
I’m driven to go on-I’m being played by a fool
Anorexia lives in me- she encourages my demise
And I take her advice-even though it’s not wise
I binge, I vomit- I gain weight, I run
This repetitive act is no longer fun
My jeans are now baggy- the fat is all gone
Can’t anyone see that my life has gone wrong?
Recovery is too far- I just want to die
I’m sick of the hurt- I don’t want to lie
I’m nauseous, I’m achy
my whole body’s in pain
I lost all the weight
but its death that I’ve gained

this poem really hit home for me. Just recently i was on the verge of becoming anorexic; but thankfully i have many friends who love and care about me and they helped me realize what i was doing to myself, before it got too horribly far. Thank you so much for this poem. It made me realize once again what could have happened, and also made me all the more thankful that i am recovering, and that i am doing it all on my own will.
peace out

| Dear Fiona, from your introduction note, I did not get the empression that this was your pro-blem, personally, but you certainly are close enough to someone who is. You have good understanding of the subject and write well about it. Perhaps that will help someone to avoid it. Bizzy |

| this poem is amazing... well written... and thought provoking... i can relate only to the anorexic part, but have had several friends and relatives with the cutting part... and my mother with the bulimia... these diseases are worse than death, and then death seems such a comfort... but, as you see, and i have found... writing is even better than that... blessings to you... please keep writing it out... |
