Tired of hoping,
tired of yearning
for friends who understand.
Emotionally dead,
so much of the time,
though pain is tearing me apart.
My body grows weaker,
with every day l don't eat,
but all they say,
scorn and disgust in their voices,
is that l'm doing it on purpose,
trying to get attention.
l don't want people to look at me!
Tired of crying,
tired of living,
but unable to stop
the beat of my shattered heart.
lm still alive.
lsn't that enough?!?
l can't eat right now...
l dont know if l ever can.
Can anyone help me?
Does anyone even care,
that l'm losing weight,
and more tired with every day,
and shaking, always always shaking?
Tired of hoping, and tired of trying...
my strength to fight the pain gone,
and lm pushing it away.
Does anyone see?

thanx... l don't eat mostly because l can't when lm stressed (which is all the tiem) but it helps to make life hurt less, in a twisted kind of way, so... thanx.
l'm glad you like it... laurie.
btw, if u know any girls like htis really well, give them a hug so they know they're not alone? or somtihg? or even guys, to anyone who knows someone whos going through this.... it's more comman than anyonet thinks, and the worst part is beign alone and having everyoen think you're a freak, or worse yet, do it to get attention...
sorry, didn't mean to go off on a tangent here...
laurie.

I've been through some very depressing stages in life and that poem helped me realise that these emotions need to be freed, be it in a physical way or through a poem. So I hope you don't mind me saying this but thank u.

you have a really, really real way of putting life into words, it is amazing. i respect that you can just put you emotions on paper then out to the world, that is hard, good write...eor

When the playful puppet laughs, others laugh. Are we puppets or are we real? for real people to feel.
