perfection:size 00

another poem i wrote while i was in rehab for anorexia

there is a pain in my chest

and i'm quit aware i am dying

but i can't let this go

fasting is getting me through

taking away my pain

it is the only thing i know anymore

this high i get from starving

is the best feeling

like i have accomplished something

i finally have self-control

i do better with anorexia by my side

it makes me weak physically

but ohhh so strong emotionally

i just want love

and i will starve until i get it

i need perfection

hip bones, collar bones, ribs

bones are beautiful

and i won't stop until i can see them.

My applause to you for sharing something so personal...and honest. This is a great write! So many of us in this world have issues that we deal with (or try to cope with) everyday. Be strong and love who you are...not what others may want, think or say. Know that your inner beauty is what shines and supersedes all other opinions...it's undeniable!
Keep up the great work and stay strong! : )
