hi.
i'd just like to open this with YOUR ALL VERY TALENTED. TO THE EXTREEM. i'm fifteen yo from australia. the topics pretty personal. heres a few lame attemps, pleases reply:

1.The beast is back
living internal

Its feet pushing, are the knots of bone protruding in my lower back
knots point down

Its smile is the cave in the hips
its thirst quenched in my tears
and its heart is in the shriveled stomach
the beat fortifys with every replayed sit-up

Its amusment is my axiety of rest
and slaving famished to it is the pleasure
the ejecting rib, those are the fingers
clasping the clenched soul

It breeths through my chilled skin
its eye is my brain
magnifying, till imperfections created
can be amplified in my dreams and wails
for its own voice

The blotchy bruises are its arteries
it kicks and screams and thrives
with every attack of insanity
and the dark sunken eyes are its wicked gapping mouth
the devils horns forcing cheekbones to protrude

this is the beast
its growling and growing
look and see it
the beast is back and its swallowing me whole
================
2.Bullets are bitten
and spew forth the syrip
a cackle is borrowed
to skew the coughs

a bass in a ribbed cage
cnverges daft and even
mammed in space
it's extorted t hell

a cliff in the hanger
spins above the flanks
and fibs for an escort
to cease
======================
3.Hollow aches of a concave of hips
the paper skin is peeling
from a life that seemed so vast

Now pegged upon her crusafix,
by the demon of mind eyes
its pangs with volume
deap into the lowly black

The sickly spines of loathing continues
longly down a back
of a void and possessed creature
that i must call myself

To say that you're poem was lame is a travesty in the face of fine writing. I have just joined here and yours is the first poem I have read. I find the depth of quality quite daunting especially from someone who believes their poetry is bad. I hope that you will keep it up.

It indeed is a travesty too say your poem is lame, shell-grunge.  This was painfully vivid and made me cringe at the horror of the disease.  Do keep up your writing, you have phenomenal talent.

~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack,
Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare,
Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water,
Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha

That was far from bad writing.  This poem is truly something you should be proud of.  You really gave me an idea of what anorexia would be like for someone.  Good luck and keep up the good work!

Wow....you portrayed it so well, the images were terrific, and very accurate I'm sure.

And welcome
