Untitled

Take a look in the mirror,
Tell me what you see,
You deserve all I give you,
It's what you want to be.

I have hunted you down,
Your weaknesses I find,
Invading your life and dignity,
And playing with your mind.

I made you what you are,
You cannot leave me now,
If you go six months without me,
I will get to you somehow.

The scales of time always
Show the biggest weight of all.
But do not despair, for I am near,
And I hear you when you call.

Drawing you into my web,
I prey on the ones so weak,
Your problems remain my property,
I cannot allow you to speak.

Encouraging days without nourishment,
I burn you with my heat,
It hurts to deprive your body,
But I'll punish you if you eat.

I will stalk you wherever you go,
For i know you long to be thin,
Don't even try to get help,
I won't ever let you win.

You may think you're safe now,
Believe forever you will stay,
But I am Anorexia Nervosa,
And I will get to you one day.

*Jennifer

This is awsome.  it reminds me of a NIN song "Mr. Self destruct"  hmmm...  a title...  I suck with titles.  But I would call it something like "No Escape" or "stalked"... I'm sure you'll come up with something creative.
great poem,

Title idea? I'm not too good with titles. Those other titles sounded good though. I love this poem. It's excellent. Keep it up.

"You may think you're safe now,
Believe forever you will stay,
But I am Anorexia Nervosa,
And I will get to you one day."

This was merely powerful! Great work.
I have no title suggestions

this is a very intruiging piece.  I like it a lot.  with regards to the title, what about "Anorexia Nervosa".  That's my choice at least.

This poem was very powerful...the meaning of it is really sad. So many people, especially teenagers are suffering from this. As for the title, maybe: 'I am Anorexia Nervosa' or 'I will get to you one day' or 'Weakness,' somehting like that I think.
