It looks this way unfortunate
Cracks in its soul
So much pain in its heart
Can someone help it?
She shouts
False smile on its face
They hate its pulsation
She hates its life
She wished that she was
But it was not possible
She has a reason to live
“I am possible” its’ eyes read
The pain pressed in its soul
She needs aid
She shouts
No one can help her
No one
Thus she cannot live
She dies
She shouts
Author notes
I tried to personify the eating disorder as the monster it really is. When I say 'it', I am referring to the internal demon that is anorexia/bulimia.

This was beautiful. It was unique as eating disorder pieces go; I liked that you never actually named the 'monster,' just personified it, but it all made sense. It made this piece stand out. Well done, this was absolutely wonderful. Thanks for entering!
"She has a reason to live
