With anorexic images of bodies destroyed from diets to pills, to throwing up till it kills.
Continual fake, definition of what sells, ten pounds thinner Miss America winner.
must be queen Must be seen as #1 thin as can be I cant stand my body
Ribs stick 4 Inchs
Looks like your body pinchs
Your bones are more seen thenyour skin
60 Pounds
I am so fat cant stand it
thin as be
why cant you
see
You smoke a Cigarettes Fight for world peice
STarve your selfand throw up if you eat.
You are so weak you cant even stand
Black is the color is the theme
You will be seen
in a black little box
You are dead
Nothing said
60 pounds you weigh
14 years old they say
No more Kathy.

Make sure you don't confuse anorexia with bulimia.

a decent write laced with social consciousness...i think that regardless of whether you are fat or thin, healthy's definitely the state to go for..health is most important, yup?

hey,
this was a sad poem...but it had great flow. i am sorry if i can't think of anything else profound to say. i am kind of disgusted by devil_tongue's cruelness.  your friend died a tragic death, and they are just worried about the medical definitions of the two diseases. anyway.... i am sorry for your loss, however the poem was well written. thank you for sharing.

This poem.. has hit me at home. I used to be anorexic.  It's not fun at all.  I'm just now getting back to the stable weight of 110 over the span of three years.  I recommend that you don't go into anorexia or other eating disorders. They're not fun.

emotional write... enjoyed the interesting rhythm of it.
and i'm not sure if this was a visual poem...
but it does work as one... getting thinner as it goes...
great work

good write...... kinda made me hurt to know that thats how i used to be, and made me want to cry. i was 5,0 tall, and 70 pounds, and that was a year ago. im now 5,2 and 110 pounds. which is really amazing recovery for me, even though i still dont eat as much as i should. anyways, it was really good, it hit home, keep up the good work.

Oh wow.....this poem is so sad. I felt it. It really hit me. Powerful poem. Very very powerful. Quiero mas.

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

Hey, that was a really nice poem. Although not a lot of people really understand WHY people become anorexic, or bulimic. There was a 2 year space in my life where I was anorexic myself. A lot of people want to blame the media and stuff but it's not always like that. The whole reason for my anorexia was because I was raped from the time i was 6 until i was 11, and then at 12 I was molested by my best friends dad. I was disgusted with myself. It wasn't that the media made me feel fat, but it was because i wanted a new image. so i stopped eating. and for two years i lived on very little food. i was 125lbs, and i went from that to 98. I've been eating for a good year now, and i'm only 108. I can't gain weight anymore. But anyways, i'm sure you didn't want my life story. lol, but this was a great poem, and almost the way it goes.  there are a few things that only someone who had been there could describe, but you did an excellent job of describing it from a friends experience.  nice write!
