Anorexia

Anorexia

A Poem by screw this.
"

May be triggering. Read at your own risk.

"

Made up an excuse for every meal

That was the deal

Skip dinner

Be thinner


Shirts began to sag off

Jeans got too loose

Bones showed clearly

Right on through


People began to notice

While I slowly let my life change


63 pounds

Do I have to be smaller to fit in?


Hair decided to fall out

"What's this all about?"

They ask


Size 0, Size 1, or Size 2?


Steps on the scale once more

This time promises to exercise till four


Feeling fat and Feeling worthless

Brings Pain

To lay on my stomach

Brings Pain

Just to sit down


I let the wall break around me'


I let you win

I fell for your words

I fell for the traps

And now look where I am

Tough read, it's a real struggle and being preoccupied with your weight ultimately affects every other aspect of your life, this is really prevalent among young teenage girls these days....aptly written, well done.
