The Cage

Gasping for air as my figures shaking

Pacing

Thoughts racing

I didn't know my mind could kill

Here I am alone wasting

My stomach aches with nothing

I can't feel

Just erase it

The mirror is a lie

Trying to fool my body

But I know I'm unwell

Can't shake this pain

I feel colder every day

Wasting away

Ribs stick out at me like bars in a cage

My mind is screaming that I'm okay

Sure it might hurt

But soon I'll be perfect

And find my worth

Eating disorders are the most deadly type of mental disorder. If you know someone who has one please get them some help. They aren't thinking properly anymore and they need your help. Don't leave them alone to suffer. You guys are amazing whether or not you think so. Your body doesn't need to be perfect for you to glow. It's not the first time I cried while writing a poem because I sympathize so much with people going through stuff like this. I'm always here to talk if someone needs me.
