Anorexia

I listen to the sound of my stomach, 

and I think it's a good sign. 

I say I'm not hungry, 

everyone thinks I'm fine. 

If only they could see through my heart, 

I'm helpless, hopeless,

I need a new start. 

My body is ugly, 

it's disgusting and vile, 

but I'm so weak, 

I haven't eaten in a while. 

When was the last time I ate?

Doesn't matter how long, 

it's too late. 

My mind is obsessed, 

I'm ten times too fat,

if I told anyone, they would think I'm

an attention seeking brat. 

They'd curse me, and shun me,

and tell me to grow up, 

I would be laughed at and blamed, 

the school's hilarious pinup. 

They would tease, and shout, 

not caring if I'm too lost in doubt, 

my weight is a key

to unlock this forbidden door

of uncertainty.

Not eating is good, 

that's what I believe, 

I'm not sure why but

perfect weight is what I must achieve.
