I feel the sweat running down my face,
I feel the food in my stomach dissolving,
I feel the weakness inhabiting my muscles
This was all for you,
Now its all on me.
I feel the food in my mouth, sickly swallowing
I hear the whispers of a girl in the corridor
Shes too thin, I feel the jealousy building
This was all for you
Now its all on me.
And I wonder if it's healthy
Healthy to be this obsessed,
The more I want to starve
The more I'm beyond full.
I feel the terror reaching my eyes
I feel the reminders on my cheek as they rain
I feel myself being pushed below the world
This was all for you
Now its all on me.
Fat
Ugly
Worthless
They can't see you like this
Pathetic
Just whispers to you,
Screams to me.
Author notes
This is just generally how I feel.
Food , calories weight control me. And i always try to starve myself but so often i give up and binge and that eats at you. I am no where near skinny. But this poem is just about the thoughts that capture many people and more like a subtle warning for people not to let it go to far.
Please tell me what you think and comment with advice if you can!

This is really good! Just one correction, in line 6, there's a typo, change it to in. The lines that are repeated are very strong, but the rest of the poem doesn't allude to their exact meaning, which is interesting. I really like the last 7 lines (not that I like how sad they are, but how they are written so well). I hope everything gets better for you!
