Sever the last shred
No longer can I be polite
Nauseated at the thought of you
Curse you when out of sight
What's your -in problem?
Can you just leave me alone
How can you do this to me?

If only I could hit you
If only no one would care
Four letter words no longer suffice
Anger needs something more than air
Words seem to bounce off
Penetrate deep into my subconscious
Where they lie, until called upon
To bring me down once again
My body aches with over exertion
Simple result of self-doubt
My hands shake and my consciousness dwindling
Side effect of low self esteem

Now sharp edges seem so appealing
Glistening in crude polished glory
Let out the pain release it
Cover it up with a Band-Aid
A predator from a lower form of life
As if I am nothing more than you
You prey upon my weakness
But I know you knew
Have no respect for me
Initiate my unknowingly and unwillingly
Sly and dumb behind my back
The group of two, now three
Said I was anorexic
You call me “walking wall”
Threaten to say more about me
I think I’ve heard them all

Your day will come, innocent enemy
Your day will come


P.S. This has nothing to do with suicide, or glorifying self-hatred, self-inflicted wounds, injuries, diseases, or sickness.  I'm not glorifying anything, so don't assume.  
Beware of Ana, she is not your friend, nor will she ever be.  Once she's enticed you into her disease, she'll never want to let you go.  Hate her, fea

Wow!  This is some incredible descriptional poetry.  I could view all the events you told of so vividly and beautifully.  This was a really well written poem!  I'm very impressed!

There's a lot of anger in this, but I like it very much.  It sounds like this person has taken advantage of you emotionally, and that's definitely not an easy thing to deal with.  I wish you luck.

The only thing to do with anger is let it go because bitterness will show up on your beautiful face one day, and you don't want that.   I think you just let go of it in this poem
