First, let me say that I'm sorry for my absence lately, but living on the gulf in florida, theres HURRICANES. GGEEERRRRRR. They make me mad. Anyways... heres the poem. It isn't too great, but it's how I feel, so screw it.  I'll shut up now.

Starving my body, my soul over-eats.
I don't put anything in, yet I am filled up.
My stomach has been empty for quite a long time,
but my soul eats and eats...
it will overflow with time.
I shed extra pounds and melt off inches
as I return to the cupboard, my un-dirtied dishes.
I reject your food, that's 14 calories, you know.
Make myself full, taking small bites, eating slow.
Started at 130lbs, I'm down to 118.
Look at me, on a diet, and I'm only 17.
So I starve my body, my soul eats and eats.
It allows no explanation, this thing called defeat.
My heart aches.
The empty promise of your love
echoes in my even emptier heart.
My emotions build in my glass bottle.
Soon, it will explode, and the debris will expand
inside of me
making me, once again, fat.
That which I fear. Becoming fat again.
Not comfortable with how I look,
gotta lose more, just gotta lose more.
Don't feed me your food,
and don't feed me your lies.
I leave out any love, while releasing ear-piercing
silent cries.
I look at my face, into blank, expressionless eyes.
So I starve my body, my soul eats and eats.
I can't fight anymore, I've become too weak.
But I've become comfortable
in accepting my defeat.


I run, I fall. I walk, I sometimes crawl. I give, I take. I bend and yet somehow I break

Hey, hon! This has really got me worried... Are you OK? I hope everything is alright, this feeling of hating the way I look is very much a part of me too... being uncomfortable in my body...
Again, I hope you're not hurting yourself, if you need to talk, please e-mail me, you haven't responded to my last letter and it's been almost a month now...
Take Care!

Don't wanna dance if he can't be
Everything that I dream up
A man that understands real love"
