Array ( [sid] => 45060 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Skin And Bones [time] => 2004-04-27 10:33:16 [hometext] => This was written back in my bulimic laxative junkie faze, but now I'm happy with my 130 pounds. True beauty comes from within. [bodytext] => The strength I've acquired comes from deep within
I know that I'll be happy once I am very thin
Disappear into yourself, let your body melt
The pain I feel now is nothing compared to pain I've felt
The pounds are like demons torturing my soul
I have to shed them all, or I'll have to pay the toll
I am grotesque, looking in the mirror all I want to do is cry
I'm a fat girl, sometimes all I want to do is die
I have to do it now before it gets too late
I have to work so hard to reach the perfect weight
I won't be fully satisfied, I won't become a hero
Until my work has finally paid off
And the scale points to zero.

The strength I've acquired comes from deep within

Disappear into yourself, let your body melt
The pain I feel now is nothing compared to pain I've felt

I know how you feel.. I've struggled with the self-esteem and purging and vomiting for over 3 years now... It's taken me a long time to realize it's not that I'm "fat", it's that it's so much easier to worry about my weight and what I wear than deal with the inner problems sometimes.. I hope you're doing better.

What a refreshing view on an age old problem. Obesity or overweight. Keep in there my dear you can do it, I am sure of that,
By the way I have lost 19 kilo's just by leaving sugar and sweets away. I still sometimes have a piece of chocolate though it helps when I get a depresive phase.

'The pain I feel now is nothing compared to pain I've felt'
I loved that line. A very brave and refreshing poem. I'm sure you are a very beautiful person xxx
