Dying Flower

I move my fork
Around my plate
Whatever I eat
All has the same fate

It'll come up
Three times a day
As I get thinner
The fat will go away

I tried the diets
I tried the pills
This is the last way
Thought it makes me ill

I'm stick thin now
With a constant rumble
I thought I'd be happy
But my body's starting to crumble

I'm frail and I'm weak
And I've been sent to bed
The doctor says stop
Or I'm going to be dead

But I can't stop
I don't have the power
I'm addicted to it
I'm a dying flower

    wow... an introspective look into a dissorder that there is rather little about when you look at the scope. Nice write, kudos on the creativity of it.
