If Only

If Only

A Poem by Susie
"

A tribute to all those fighting an eating disorder

"

I have a sinister pursuit
Stand clear, it's more to me than you

I am a suicide bomber

I'd silence the demon on my shoulder

If I could, if I could


I am dying to beliefs

That love is the currency of thieves

Take my fire, take my food

I'd give my right arm to lose a few

If I could, if I could


If only, if only

If only, if only


I am friends with my own back

Needing everything I have

I'd buy immortality

So I could give without neglecting me

If I could, if I could


I will not get out alive

The innocent have already died

I'd take that wretched number down

Without rotting in the ground

If I could, if I could


If only, if only

If only, if only


We could thrive on water and air

We were blind to everything but butterflies and sunsets

Affection and approval were foreign yearns

And the war never won never hurt


If only, if only

If only, if only

That was very amazing, the humanity you are portraying is amazing, since many people starts to forget those needy ones, we all know how sad it is, but we,sometimes, just forget it because it is widely spread,..well done
