Alirght everyone, I wrote this when I was bored today and had nothing better to do.  I wrote it with a tone of sarcasm and humor, so please try to read it that way.  As always, I appreciate all replies...gracias, hasta luego

Why do you ask?

No breakfast
No lunch
You make a big deal
Thanks a bunch
Save a few calories
Here and there
I'd burn them off
But I'm too dizzy to go anywhere
Loose a few pounds this month
A few the next
Burr it's cold in here
Gotta read the fine text
Getting kind of pale
You say I look like a ghost
In my black shirt
My skin's whitest-yellow at most
Want to sleep in the morning
Can't sleep at night
No dreams only nightmares
Nightmare world filled with fright
See a few bones
Somewhat visible through the skin
I'm a mess
Do I still get a 10?
Grades, papers, people
Ugh can't handle all the stress
Got better things to worry about
Than if they like the way I dress
A funny little flutter
Somewhere near my heart
Hmmm I wonder
When did that start
I'm not hungry
So don't make me eat
Are you crazy
How do you feel so much heat
I'll just sit here and watch you
What a lovely task
No of course I'm not sick
Why do you ask?



Beautiful is empty
Beautiful is free
Beautiful loves no one
Beautiful stripped me

hey...wow its good to be back...anyway
although i cant relate to the poem very well, and i can give any witty words of advice or anything, i dont know much about hte subject, just remeber, that your friends love you (least they should or they wouldnt be friends wounld they), andhang in there, youll be fine, pretty well written, like the small verses, i might have to try that if i ever get time...hehe
all in all a good poem, sounds like you really meant what you wrote

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... :)

This is something I can connect with *so* well. What is it with force feeding and people attempting to burst our little bubble of happiness we've created in a world of weight? I always did like your writing, Bel. There is a distinct sense of sincerity in everything that you write.

Thanks for posting this. I'm glad I found it.
