Cut && Starve Yourself To Perfection.
Self-Hatred, Depression, & Lying
Have Always Been Your Best [Assests]
Fearful && Numb,
Shaky Hands && Tiny Ankles,
Bingeing && Sleepless Nights.
Honey, Size Zero Means You Don't
E.X.S.I.S.T.
Those tiny little addictions
that you think aren't hurting you at all;
diet pills, exercising, purging, and blacking out.
" their just to help lower the numbers on the scale "
are really killing you on the inside.
Those few little calories you're burning away
[could be your last]
Think back upon yourself.
Think back to just a few years ago.
When you thought being skinny was disgusting.
And being perfect didn't mean you had to be skinny.
Look What You've Become Now.

Interesting piece to be certain, nice flow to it with just a slight touch of the dirty/pretty form not overwhelming the words, well done. Best of luck in this and all of your endeavors.

this poem makes me so sad. i used to be bulimic, and it really isnt worth it. i used to throw up uncontrolably, it took over my life. thank you so much for writing about it, the pain most girls (guys too) go through to try to be 'perfect'.

i'm speechless ... this hits home .. i know so many, too many girls pushing themselves to perfection, too blind by ambition to see the truth..
i love the structure and blunt truth it portrays ,, not to mention the word choice was brilliant
i want to say i have a favorite part but its all just so wow
your writes continue to leave me .. beyond amazed
beautiful work
