Never Good Enough

I do not have this diagnosis, I grew up with someone close to me who still struggles with it.

Terrified.

Nobody understands.

It’s impossible for their minds to even fathom it.
Anorexia, this disease,

it’s like being suicidal.

All these ideations.

It’s not just not eating.

Afraid of showering,

Don’t want to look at this disgusting body.

Needing to get dressed in the dark.

Terrified to step on the scale.

Because that number,

Just like me and my disease

Will never be good enough.

You paint a picture with the battle of anorexia...yet the picture is never quite the way the person wants to see...no matter how they view themselves...in the end...the very ideology wins....The End...for the disease is self-absorbed...and takes a downward spiral...like an abyss...a black hole...spinning until there is nothing left to consume...

They are perfect and no one needs to be mean or rude to them.
