It's Not Just You

Believe me, it's not just you
Many people say the same things you do
People threaten, people beg
But why?  I can't comprehend

Maybe it's just something I don't get
But you people
You don't stop
You don't quit

You'll never know just how I feel inside
All those feelings and emotions I try so hard to hide
You wouldn't understand it anyway
But you say there’s still that chance you may

But could you really hear me say
Everything that has made me be this way
All the things people have said
That have made me cry at night lying in my bed

I don't what's the big deal
If I skip a meal
Everyone gets all upset
Like it makes a difference

One day I'll be thin
One day I wont have to go through this time and time again
One day the insults will stop
One day I will look in the mirror and smile

Until that day I'll stay the same
Counting the calories of every meal
Hoping that in time my heart will heal
I can't stand to be like this anymore
Dear God please, I just want to be thin

this is a good piece of work. but i think if this is how you feel you should love yourself however you are.

I'm the lord, I'm the havoc, I'm the soul

Hi all!  I didn't mean to sound so negative in this one, I was going to write an explination, but I didn't have time.  Thanks for the concern, I really appreciate it.  If you have any questions, comments, concerns, advice, anything, just tell me!!  Thank you so much!

this is a good poem, i have a feeling its in response to mine, "maybe", which is in response to yours...but i might be wrong...
anyway, i like the poem, it has a negitive feeling towards yourself yet a loving feeling towards someone else, and although i dont really agree with the negitive part (you are exactily what you think you are, not what other people think) i still like the poem alot
i think ill leave this topic at that because i cant really write something to match that, that pretty much says it all

always follow your heart, never follow others unless it is truely where you want to go, and never give up a dream, maybe just set it aside for a while... :)

WOW...YOUR POEM WAS GOOD..BUT WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? HOW CAN YOU SKIP MEALS OR COUNT CALORIES? SUCH NEGATIVE THINKING...YOU SHOULDNT THINK LIKE THAT. HONESTLY. IF PEOPLE DONT LIKE YOU CAUSE THEY THINK YOUR NOT SKINNY ENOUGH THEY ARE NOT WORTH YOUR TIME. ITS WHATS ON THE INSIDE THAT COUNTS. SO STOP COUNTING CALORIES....< !signature-->

~IF YOU WANT SOMETHING VERY BADLY~SET IT FREE~IF IT COMES BACK TO YOU~ITS YOURS FOREVER~IF IT DOESNT IT WAS NEVER YOURS TO BEGIN WITH~
