It Took Me Some Time To Realize Just How Perfect Everyone Is. Mostly To Get Over My Own Insecurities. I'm Still Not Back To Perfection, But I'm Working On It. Don't Destroy Your Life. I Know It's Hard, But You Can Get Through It. The First Step Is To Admit You Have A Problem. The Second Step Is To Get Help. Reach Out. Because I Guarantee Someone Will Cry If Your Put Six Feet Under.

These poems express what I'm going through and how I feel about my Anorexia and how I'm surviving through it.

Max, diagnosed with anorexic and bulimic tendencies, is just beyond excited to finally leave the clutches of his overbearing, overly religious mother and her hateful ways; however, Max isn't given any time to rejoice in his new freedom because he has done little more than trade one prison for another. "Welcome to the Trenton Live-in Clinic," she says, but to Max, he hears, "Welcome to The Skinny Boy House where the skinny boys tell their tales." Within the walls of the clinic, Max finds himself placed in the middle of a group of boys who all share a similar story. Only time will tell if Max will be able to work toward becoming healthy and possibly find love and acceptance; however, with a darkness constantly looming overhead, the threat of succumbing to his illness and losing the battle over his life is all too real.
