I'm trying

I'm trying

A Poem by dominic

I don't think you understand that I am doing my best
it's hard

I'm not trying to hurt you
Please believe me

you tell me 
 'you need to eat your lunch'
I can't
It's not because I'm stubborn or defiant
I just can't. 

You said
'please stop purging'
I don't think you understand 
how hard this is for me too
I don't mean to hurt you
I really don't 

but I don't think you realize that after I hit 1000 calories 
I start to beat myself up for it 

You said 
'you need help'
Do you think I didn't know that?
I've been struggling with this for years
I want help
I want to stop

But I cant get help
I cant tell anyone else

Please forgive me,
I love you

The poem told a story of concern and struggle. Some battles cannot be fought alone. I felt the words and you made the reader understand. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.
