Another sleepless nightA Story by JbI'm not conventionally beautiful I had a full ride to college and dropped out Because I eat until I'm numb And then puke until I see stars Used to starve myself And exercise all day So I had to go into the hospital... And I'm still not better I chain smoke in my room when I'm alone And listen to the same songs over and over I despise the radio And wish I was a hippie I have a wierd obsession with dead flowers And I enjoy making colloges on ripped up pieces of cardboard My hair is very big and curly It's naturally red, but I die it dark brown Because I think that the contrast is intersting Against my pale skin I have eyes that are light blue/grey I used to paint the areas surrounding them black But have since come to my senses And wear considerably less makeup I cut the word "fat" into my arm three times Thus, I have three scars of it Amongst others I take way too many pills And wish that I didn't need them But I have a bunch of different diagnoses So I follow the little rx script that my doctor gives me In hopes that it will make things better I am thankful for my family But don't get along with them in the least That is, I don't get along with my mother, father, or brother Because my mother thinks I'm a waste, amongst other things... My father thinks I'm stupid And my brother thinks I'm a failure I'm 19 years old And feel as though I've ruined my life I used to be a championship dancer And one of the top runners in my school With a 4.0 But all of those things have gone by the wayside And writing is pretty much the only thing I'm good at That is, if I'm even good at it Sometimes I only feel free when I'm drunk Or with my boyfriend I honestly think he's the only person that cares about me I love him and that frightens me Because I've never loved anyone before... And I miss him terribly when he's not with me I am very self consious of my body Because I used to be 70 lbs., But clearly am much more now I don't know if I'll ever make "anything" of my self But feel that society's version of "anything" is boring I don't know why I'm writing this either I just know that these are some things That depict who I am To a certain extent © 2012 Jb |
