I'm admitted to hospital
Early morning in September
Giving up slowly
All the colours are confusion
All I remember is blacking out
In the bathroom
Someone's desperate knocks fading out
As all I see is a black hole of
Nothingness
Anorexia tells me I haven't tried hard enough
That I've failed myself
Fat, ugly fatso
My body can't keep going this way
Can it?
I wake up
And around me is a
Sterile blur
Of nurses, doctors and needles
Mom is asleep on the chair
Tousled hair over her face
Her face drawn and pale
Nearly lifeless
I look at my arm
At the pipes and tubes
Leading in and
Out of my body
Carrying fluids
I'm silent
But a cheery nurse comes over
And mom wakes up
How long do I have to stay here
Staying healthy
Staying monitored?
