Dry uneaten cereal in a dishwasher safe cup
I lay my head on my green corduroy comforter
looking at the dazzling waifs I've painted
While writing a poem with an ultramarine oil pastel
Fear overwhelming the rhythmic beat of fallen tears
A dried pink rose you gave me on my glass shelf
I'm so afraid, so screwed up
Who would want an anorexic?
     An anorexic who's afraid of help
I wouldn't want me
Why would you?

hello m'dear

I really love this because I can connect with it. While we put ourselves on a podium and dance around thinking we're grand, the one thing we want doesn't want us. Many people would want you. Those that don't can't understand and therefore could never accept the being as a whole.

Stay strong, Bel. You're a beautiful person and don't let anything make you think you're not.
