I stick my fingers down my throat and wait for it to go
it makes me feel as though
I don't know who I am
Oft repeated words on my lips
I hate me
I hate being fat
Though you tell me I am not
You lie
In an attempt to make me stop
So what if I'm killing myself?
It's a silent battle I cannot win
I don't care if it's a sin
I will be thin
You can't stop me
and neither can I
so why not just let me die?
Please tell me what you think

powerful
this hits like a sledgehammer..it's teenage rhetoric at it's best. Dark, moving. Excuse me if I come over all annoying and say I hope that you find a more useful outlet for this kind of power than merely trying to be thin..I am thinking great art, great deeds could be done by a mind like this. -

wow this is very powerful I absolutely fell in love with your words! I love the first stanza it hits very true to my heart.
I also felt connected to this
"You can't stop me
and neither can I"
I love that it's so true

Very deep and sad.
I must have had my arm on my mouse and when I moved it sent my words way to fast. So I will try again. My first impression is of sadness. Emotionally I hope this is just a poem and not you. All of it is hard to read but not awkward. I wouldn't change any of the words as they are written. "Silent Battle" how appropriate a title for this piece. The first line says just what the author had in mind for this piece. The last line sums up the feelings in this very well. As I said I sure hope this is not you, we all feel unloved for who we are at times, however there is one who always is there if you choose to hear the words. And you are loved more than you know.

Cause.. We're more important than that..
We want to die.. To fill our. thoughts of perfection... And wants and needs.. And..
We have to survive.. To prove that we're better than that...
