Monsters
They only come out at night” they said
I check the wardrobe then under the bed
Eyes pinned for shadows on the wall
I cannot sleep a wink at all
“They only come out at night” they said
Yet in the day I’m full of dread
Lump in throat
I fear to eat
Life is easier when I’m asleep
”They only come out at night” they said
I tip toe every where I tread
I dare not step outside my door
I swear I’ve heard those monsters roar
“They only come out at night“ they said
Then why in the day do they mess with my...

Warfare
Ripping flesh
Tearing flesh
Metal parting
Fine cracks
In soft skin
Tainted red
Wet red
Crying wounds
In diffuse
Bathroom light
Metal clinks
On white tiles
Bathroom warfare
Tears running
Heart running
Staring eyes
In dirty mirror
Disbelief painted
In wide blue
Fabric touching
Fabric suffocating
Soul screaming
Wanting to break
Carnal prison
Life sentence
Bedroom warfare
Almighty hunger
Almighty craving
Starving mouth
Wanting to feed ...

silly girl
silly girl!
start eating again
oh, but the voices and self ridicule
harming yourself is not healthy
but its the only way i can control my pain
stop worrying, things will work out
i can't see past tomorrow
talk to those who love you, they'll understand
i have to be strong, i don't want their pity
just do your work, stop being lazy
i have no motivation, i can't help it
you aren't alone, people care about you
their false acts of kindness don't fool me
...

hunger
the all consuming hunger
that's taken over her
she stopped eating
because she had a hunger, a desire
to be thin
to fit society's expectations
but her hunger caused physical hunger
and unhealthy malnourishment
the distaste for high calories
the gum chewing for avoidance
the newfound love for diet soda
when she feels guilty for eating
she exercises past the breaking point
when the number on the scale is to high
she inflicts herself with cuts
that turn to ugly scars, for punishment
...

Crop top
There are times, moments
When I look in the mirror
And I reflect on all the bodies
That I have lived in just in one life
I once was rail thin, wraith like
As if one strong wind would pick me up
You could count my ribs just by looking
But now my body is an overflowing hourglass
Nothing quite like touching flesh so soft
My abdomen is like a pillow
And I have lost count how many folks
Have used my body like an oasis
To rest, sleep and drink love from
I went from a tiny desert body
To one overflowing with wealth
Strength...

my little game
I started my little game
when I was twelve years old.
It goes a little like this,
everything is controlled.
everyday is the same
constantly dreading a meal,
always calculating calories
trying to achieve the ideal
my curly thick hair
and my glowing skin
both things I gave up
just to be thin
the pounds fell off
and my bones began to show
"only one more pound"
I said ten pounds ago
I picked up new hobbies
I run everyday
in hopes that it lowers
that dreaded number I weigh ...

The Binge and the Purge
Completely consumed
Delicious disorder
I consume thee
Like you devour me.
Food is so fulfilling, when all you feel is empty.
But every reaction bears a consequence.
Cough it up now, no need to fuss
Pretend you're searching for diamonds
in your esophagus.
Once again it's over,
and I feel empty and rough
After all that I've done-
Is it ever enough?

Anorexia - Behind the looking Glass
A mastermind in disguised by the sins of shattered glass, luring you in by its reflections, leaving you with painful thoughts, false confidence and shame. Your wasting away as time is coming short, pretty soon all that will be left of you is the remains of your bones.”
she once lit up
like fearless skies,
then she grew up
to her own demise.
Carried burdens
of many storms,
flooded fears
that noone knows.
Ran countless times
but all she found,
Is nowhere to hide
Only one way out
Despite her screams for help
She wastes...

"Dying Alive"
Skin and bones, becoming one/ muscles and limbs, began to ache/-/ desire drains, and so do I/ self will, is a lie/-//
Passions and joy, are gone again/ silent screams, fill the night/-/heart turns cold, from being torn/ soul is drowned, in this storm/-//
Light is fading from my eyes/ my voice grows heavy with silence/ to all the colors I say goodbye/ solid feet no more to dance/-/heart no red to show anymore/ my strength goes away/ no meaning or purpose/ as my story comes to end/-//
Should get help, but cannot move/ for depression, take it's toll/ -/...

Porridge
I remember those mornings with
A warm bowl of porridge
The soft, sweet oats
Warmed my tongue
Sweetened my soul
Oozed down my throat
Filled my stomach.
Now, that saccharine scent
Just makes me bitter
The deceptive oats
Torment my tongue
Muddy my soul
Claw at the walls
Of my throat and stomach.
A warm bowl of porridge
The soft, sweet oats
Warmed my tongue
Sweetened my soul
Oozed down my throat
Filled my stomach.
Now, that saccharine scent
Just makes me bitter
The deceptive oats
Torment my tongue
Muddy my soul
Claw at the walls
Of my throat and stomach.

My first words
I was six when i learned the most important word ; diet.
D is for Dehydration and vomit stained clothes,
I is for insecurities dressed as cotton balls soaked in mouthwash.
E is for everything I didn't eat
T is for trying to kill myself when I didn't fit into my dress for picture day.
