i hate getting naked because i hate the way i look
i hate doing my hair because it will be thin and brittle anyways\
i'm always cold
and i dont think its the low iron anymore
but if its so bad then why do i still look the way i do
am i not disciplined enough?
i cant even lay on my side without rolling up
like a huge carpet
none of my pants fit anymore
not even the new ones i just bought
there's always the rolls, the extra skin
maybe i want to weigh less so i take up less physical space
the same way i hardly exist in anyones mental...

in the case of eugenia cooney
i ask people
why they watch
documentaries
about serial
killers
why are they
fascinated by
heinous crimes
they plan to
commit?
why do people
claim empathy
but decide
watching a
human die
slowly?
i realise there
are always two
talking points
about eating
disorders
in regards to
eugenia cooney,
they don't
consider what
her platform
has allowed
her to do
it allowed her
brother to go ...

Gaining Back
Not feeling shame was a guilty pleasure
Not eating grew a competitive game
Eventually, I did lose
And I won back every piece of me that I gave

Mirrors don't lie
I'm an oxymoron,
a hideous hybrid of fat and thin.
How can I look like such a glutton,
if bones are visible through my skin?
How can my ribcage struggle
to escape it's prison and bloom,
when underneath it a vast expanse
of fat takes up so much room?
How can my spine jut out
like a vast jagged mountain range,
if underneath lie these horrible legs,
bulbous and bloated, swollen and strange?
How can my collarbones stand out
like a plateau,
when atop it lies a head with cheeks
like boils ready...

there's no need to read this either
im not really sure how to decribe what im feeling right now. i think i need to split my life into factors. in my relationship i feel defeated. that might be the only word i have. i have done so much wrong and caused so much hurt that im in this constant limbo between "i dont deserve to be treated well" and "i shouldn't be treated like this/talked to this way". and then some things hurt more than you could ever imagine but you never expect to happen and then it does and it slices you. what do you even say to your partner when they say the have no one? i dont think thats something i can ever...

How does one save themselves?
I eat and I feel guilty
then I overeat and feel guiltier still
but I can't seem to stop
I fear my body will rot
I want to be healthy and happy
I want to make good choices for myself
choices I know I should be making
choices I know would make my life better
but I don't have the strength
so I just sit in my room as I write and chew
I am miserable and numb at the same time
I can't make up my mind
it's hard to breathe and I'm dying on the inside
I need saving from myself
then I overeat and feel guiltier still
but I can't seem to stop
I fear my body will rot
I want to be healthy and happy
I want to make good choices for myself
choices I know I should be making

but I don't have the strength
so I just sit in my room as I write and chew
I am miserable and numb at the same time
I can't make up my mind
it's hard to breathe and I'm dying on the inside
I need saving from myself

The Suicide of a Gifted Child.
She woke up in the mornings and wiped the mascara from her face.
Start fresh.
She forces makeup to her skin, tissues under her eyes so it doesn’t run.
She lifts something vile to her lips,
She takes a puff.
Be careful they said,
She ignored them and
Breathed in what she was smart enough to know she shouldn’t.
She tried to quit
She couldn’t.
I won’t get addicted,
She said.
She avoids bread.
I won’t get addicted
She said
...

Ella
As though I were a child in Disneyland
I swore she was a princess
Donning armor of baggy shirts
a crown of red box dye
The knight of the passenger seat,
Behind soft smiles and red eyes
there's a queen in disguise
Beneath thin hands and makeup
A scarred child hides
Can you slay your beast
Or die at its feet?
Stay, Ella
Slay, Ella

Fallen Angel
her brown eyes glisten
like tear-stained glass
shattered and cracked
there are miles it seems
but only feet between
her truth and me
she’s a fallen angel
her shattered halo
falls to pieces to the ground
they starved your body
they stole your wings
they broke your heart
for the most beautiful girl
a goddess on earth
a diamond in the rough
Stand Tall fallen angel
the world is in your hands
like tear-stained glass
shattered and cracked
there are miles it seems
but only feet between
her truth and me
she’s a fallen angel
her shattered halo
falls to pieces to the ground
they starved your body
they stole your wings
they broke your heart
for the most beautiful girl
a goddess on earth
a diamond in the rough
Stand Tall fallen angel
the world is in your hands

Skeletal
i look in the mirror
at my body and think:
"i'm not actually
skinny yet..."
like it's something
i have to get to
a certain point
and then i will be
but i know that
even when i was
105 pounds
after i left john
i still wanted
even then
even more
even less
i still wanted
to be even smaller
i'm never
thin enough
i want my
bones to show
skeletal
like death
instead
i binge eat
myself to sleep
again ...

Slowburn
I’ve been noticing
How fkn exhausting it is to
Be the particular way that I am
About things being done
The right way
And I’ve
Been wanting
For a life of higher luxury
To pamper myself with status
Adorning myself with
Earthly desires
Filling the
Void
That stares back
I usually do it with music
Rap has been bumping
To my heartbeat and
Keeping me going
While arousing
Me too
Consuming the
Things I can have because
Right now...
