Starvation doesn’t fix everything, but it does fix a few
Bones that stick out don’t make it better, but it helps
Yes, bulimia does ruin my organs, but at least I can smile
Not eating makes me weaker, but inside I feel stronger
Becoming skinnier doesn’t help, but it’s my silent plea
Don’t tell me how sick and twisted this is, trust me I know
Please stop telling me to eat, I can’t take of my mask
Try not to be so worried, somehow it’s under control

I don't know if this is personal but you have done a good job of describing this terrible disease.

I don't understand what makes people do this, but I do feel compassion for them. A well written piece of poetry.
