When you are not looking
I close the bathroom door
Take one look at myself
And purge my inner fears
When I lift my head up out of the porcelain throne
And look myself in the mirror once again
I feel a little more confident
Empty I can conquer the world
Full I am just one giant ameba of fat
No shape, just a blob of nothingness

This is a sad write
This is such a sad write, after all beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. You have written about a very topical subject as thousands of people purge their food in an attempt to look beautiful. Many die in the attempt to acheive the perfect figure, although there is far more to people than meets the eye.
Look at all the excellent poetic friends we have at Allpoetry that we have never physically seen, and yet some we like, some we love, and yet we have read their hearts and we love them for what they are.
And please don't class yourself as a blob of nothinginess I am sure you are held in high esteem by many peole, so please do not put yourself down.
Now back to your write, first class, see how it's affected me!
