I want to be as thin as air
I want to be bare
Ripped down to skin and bones
I hate being fat and alone
Bulimia is a cure,
When food is a curse
Just another meal skipped
Another empty wish
It's a mind over body compromise
For I really am a princess in disguise
An ugly duckling dying to be a swan
So I'll purge till the fat is gone
Sick of extra weight
Sick of feeling like toxic waste
So I'll purge till I'm as thin as air♥
I want to be skin and bones, baby I want to be bare

I hate being fat -.- I skip meals a lot... because they get me sick, only reason. I really get sick, not force sick. I really enjoyed this poem as well, so true for the people who have that disorder, and it truly must be hard for them as well. I am glad I have no eating disorder that I know of. Keep on writing, until you can't no more!

Beautiful poem in that it is an honest portrait of a difficult disorder. I really liked these lines: "Bulimia is a cure,/When food is a curse". I think anyone who has gone through any type of eating disorder could relate to this. Thank you for sharing.

ok
Kind of scary. Both things to be fat or anorexic are scary. And hard to find a medium. I've often battled with this myself. When I was younger I was skinny cause I was poor and would skip eating just to have things, or be able to go out and date. Now I'm older, and I work sitting doing data-entry. And I just seem to get older, and fatter, the more I do this kind of work that I love lol!
Thanks for the poem, and stay positive. If you can! -
Wow, this poem just took my breath away, this is an amazing write, you should be so proud. I love it. I can totally relate with this poem and I am impressed. I loved this verse:
'It's a mind over body compromise
For I really am a princess in disguise'
It made me think of my past and how i'm not the only one that thinks the way i do.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
Well done, again, AMAZING!
Can you take a look at my poems? I'm really eager to hear opinions, especially on 'My very own soldier'
Well done again, Awesome.

-
Amazing poem! i liked this one it hit home for me in a way i think you got this one out really good nice write yet again,
nessa -
this is very sad in a way because this girl is going to die if she lives this way. food is not a curse, wanting to be something you aren't is. But the poem was quite good.
-
it's great I love how you explained everything
-
This is very powerful. It is a strange desire some would think, to want to be so, but for those who deal with it, it is like the lower the scale goes, the more we want to loose. It is never enough. I love this
-
excellent write!
it was easy to read and was to the point
i liked it A LOT! probably becuase i can relate to it so much
sadly enough i can relate to this a little too much =[ -
great!!!
u know i actually 13 and pretty big for my age and i sometimes thaught about this and did it for about a month. you truely have shown the thaughts of a bulimic and anorexic BRAVO!!!
oh and tell me what you think of mine.
-
Great poem!!! I know how it feels though. *hugs* Stay strong!
-
Perfect.
xx -
i relate
♥

I can understand why you want to be that why, but never forget who you are and how much that means. Good piece and remember beauty is really on the inside!!!
-
This is beautiful, tragic, very heartfelt, and honest.
"Just another meal skipped
Another empty wish
It's a mind over body compromise
For I really am a princess in disguise"
Those were my favorite two stanzas. They really embody what the rest of the piece conveys, I think...
Well penned, poet!
Oh...and how do you type the hearts?

this is a very hurtful piece. Very beautiful yet also very saddening. I have always been somewhat overweight- and have always been told so which caused a deep insecurity and disappointment in myself as a result. I used to be bulimic which i had to have therapy for- amoung other things. So i really know the pain which this art stems from. I think it so tragic that young women are so unstable with their self-concepts these days when all individuals are so beautiful just the way they are just by being themselves.
-
This is another really really good write by you. I dont think Ive read a piece that i dont like yet.
Hugs and luvvs

As my wife put it, this piece indeed is deep, filled with so much emotion very strong shall I say, it is a bit short, but the flow and wording is great Thank you for sharing and entering best of luck.
