wrote this with current battle with chronic illness,and eating disorder.
My head is burnining
Disconnected from the world
Knowing whats right
Ignoring it all

Can't seem to be that person I was
Inventing a new life
Scared of what might be
No reason, no reason just because

Why has reality become so distant?
Am I completly vaccant?

Burning, Burning, I feel on fire
It's all on me now

Observing getting what you want
But never obtaining it truley
I can't go on
I flush my life

I feel so full
Then I let go
Why am I cheating myself?
Don't I need this to survive?

Eventually, one day, someday, sometime

Getting weaker, loosing hold
Waking up and now it's cold

Laying on the bathroom floor
Losing what I have had
To become someone I created

Loosing something precious

I hate lyingand pretending
When I can't hide these things
Can't their be happiness, with no faluire
Once again I'm bending

It's acidic, it burns
It's now become silent

I vomit my life
I let go of my pain, and my disapointment
I let it go
Down this porceiln drain

Kneeling now
Looking now
Feeling now
I smell of vomit

Very emotional write, and descriptive.

Oh, lilibeelee, you vividly pulled me into your tortured world. Your pain is palpable in your impassioned words.

There are so many young women who suffer from this societally-induced disease.

I pray for your physical ~ and emotional ~ recovery.

Wrapping my arms around you with love and compassion,

EA
