Reflect

A poem I wrote, reflecting on how my eating disorder's affected my life.

My throat is raw
The acid burns
You’d think by now
I would have learned
But yet I still
Continue on
Aware that what
I do is wrong

Friendships ruined
Family torn
Sympathy now
Replaced with scorn
Friends are tried
Fed up with it all
They won’t be there
Next time I fall

I was told what
The toll would be
Paid the price
And now I see
This road is hard
Brutal and rough
But I won’t let
Myself give up

Say's so much with so little. It's perfect, i love it.

Very simple and emotional write. I liked the flow of the poem. Well written.
