Diary Of A Dying Soul

Eyes fixed on the mirror.
Thin?
Fading away.
Nostalgic thoughts of a distant memory of beauty
still I don't believe it.
Lacking suffiency,
becoming the victim of my own sacrifice,
under eating to extremity.
Without thinking twice.
Aware of the consequences,
of continuous diet,
minimizing my personality,
as well as my size.
Food forbidden,
will unwritten,
insecurity hidden.
Could you live like this?

Thoughts controlled
mind revolved.
A predator upon my own flesh,
feeding on mind and soul.
Mind taking over body.
Out of control.
As I think of myself
I see a wilting flower and I wonder
if I ever had true beauty.

Why wouldn't your poems be accepted, let alone not complimented? You are quite the talented writer from what I've see so far. Your poems are ver well written, this one included. Quite powerful.
I liked it very much and hope to see more.
I also hope that your situation with the eating problem gets better.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

My acceptance, and compliments.     Very well done, I have a close friend who could relate to this poem.  I am interested to see her reply.

Socially applied sterotypes, enforced by the mind; an evering-submitting slave to that society.  Ouch.   I'm sorry.  I really like your poem, the pain was so obvious and exqusite.

This one hit real hard, Kim.. very hard.
I liked it.  You put lots of emotion in this that really expressed how hard this situation is.
Nice job, and *hugs* to you.

subconsciously, i think i can eat so much to make my stomach hurt, instead of my heart.

Thankyou all for the support but there is no need to worry the poem is not about me!!  I am very ingrigued by Anorexia Nervosa disorder because I am interested in the psychology behind it, what makes someone so thin think they are so fat?  I wrote a poem about it after reading an article in a magazine because I wanted to capture the insecurity and pain in a poem.  Thankyou all so much for caring though!!  *hugs you all*

After reading your reply to Tamma, I had to go find this poem you mentioned.  You did a wonderful job.  I am glad that you are not suffering from an eating disorder though.

I need more time to find the real me...

Strong piece and I commend you for writing it. Not a lot of people can pull off eating disorder pieces but you do it well.

it speaks from the heart and has an awesome flow to it. Be proud.
