looking in my eye
reflection could you bare
a day
ware my heart could stop
and all I've st-rived for would end
months of stomach pains
dizzy spells
packs of smokes
friends judge and plead
for me to know it hurts
not just me
but them
when i fade
my mind becomes stronger
its the delusional thought
that's stitched in my imagination
along with the picture
an obese self
all I want
is to love my self
perfection
bones
are the answer
so glare at me again
remind me
I have failed
food is the enemy
beauty is everything
so now i leave you
to contemplate ware you went wrong
reflection
you lie
that is the reason
reasons
that I'm slowly dieing
are you proud
that I crave
to meet your standerds
and my own

Judged-ola!
a sad write.... -
another regarding eating disorders.
i'm glad you mentioned seeing the reflection that way, and the obese image. a lot of people forget about that.
many people have a distorted image of themselves.
this was a great write, very descriptive and very accurate.
best of luck.
