I certainly hope that this wasn't a personal account. This is a sad story, that someone would hurt themselves in this way. I care and no one should have to hurt this much.. Love is what the world needs.. Well written poem.

Great job in exploring how inner suffering manifests itself in the outward..anorexia...interesting and sad how a "starvation" of love results in a starvation of the body and spirit...moving and sad...especially the end:

================================
I need you to love me, to say that you care,
On you I can depend to always be there.
Why was I chosen to suffer like this,
And why can't I see in the end I'll be missed?
Why?
=================================

great expression of pain and inner turmoil, of knowing the facts for as wrong as they are, but still depending on the wrong, anyway. And the cry for help is just powerful. Great job, if indeed this is coming out of personal account, dear friend, keep writing them out! Take care, smiles  

With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..

I too certainly hope you aren't describing yourself in this scenario, if you are, get help and get it now!
Great descriptions of the inner turmoil all those bulimia and anorexic women face daily.. well done!

so many times we want to put ourselves into a category, be what everyone else wants us to be, my best advise is to make yourself happy, to anyone that suffers from anorexia, or any eating disorder. The only way to live is to seek help. This is not something you can handle on your own.

painful poem, but I agree with the others seek if it's real some help or if you can't do that at least tell someone you trust to help you through it and not condemn you. If it is true here is a site that may understand and be able to offer help. http://www.anad.org/

Strong, sad and lonely...
And if it counts: Please seek help don't give up, all right?
