Glossy Vision Girl

Glossy Vision Girl

A Poem by ANTHONY PERALES

The first thought I
encountered was ,
this poor girl
does not eat.

As our friendship
developed into
more than 
I ever imagined
it would 
I discovered she 
did indeed eat.

When I 
say eat 
I mean more like
demolished all 
that 
was presented 
before her.

Her sometimes
sickly appearance 
was caused 
by  the problems
she kept  hidden
behind a 
locked bathroom 
door.

It seemed the
porcelain hollow
had an appetite
for her insides.

Like a devoted

worshiper 
to its Pagan God 
she gave up her
offerings after 
completing 
each and 
every meal or 
even a snack.

Her sickness
clouded
her image
of herself.

I told her 
she was
beautiful.
She called me 
a liar and told 
me to never 
come back.

So I 
did'nt.

There's only so
much you can do
for the sick until
they themselves 
are prepared to
fight.
