Skinny Enough

Everyday
A fight to live
Resisting everything
That causes me pain
Lies to cover up this game
I've been playing with myself
You might call it torture
I call it a way of life
Insane how that works
Growing up
Never been the skinny one
Like those on the magazines
Now I've learned skipping
A meal or two
Sheds a few pounds
Each day
I fight through
I need to win
Am I skinny enough
For this civilization
Evil laughter as I watch myself
Deteriorate in the mirror
If I don't survive
Who would care
Would it really matter
Take one hard look at me
Am I skinny enough
To even breathe

    the true emotions of someone who is ill written with such emotion that gripped me to think and feel what you were describing. you have connected with the picture amazingly that I could vision the scene in my head. a powerful piece well done

    IVE BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL FOR ANOREXIA AND WAS SCARED TO DEATH OF FOOD SO I WAS FED THROUGH AN IV AND I RIPPED IT OUT AND HAD TO BE WATCHED BY A NURSE.
    THESE ARE GAMES THAT CAN KILL. ONES NOT TO TOY WITH.
    I HOPE YOU ARE CAREFUL AND FIND THAT PERFECTION ISNT REAL.
