I'll never be e.n.o.u.g.h.



I'm trapped in the circular motion
of the never ending reflections
I'm chasing, wondering where the
hell I went wrong. My clothes lay
lifeless on the floor and I imagine
them whispering my words. My
d e s i r e.
thin.
Thinner.
THINNER.
Insistent and exasperating in my
solitary mind. My stomach sobs
in protest and I reject it's feeble
pleas and begin to cry. My arms
are shaking; head spinning and
I'm curled up with the weight of
the anxiety. It's raking through
me threatening to pull me under
like a rope around my ankle.
The meager threads are giving in.
And so am I.
I realize in a rush of shame;
that I'll never be enough,
  because I'll always be too much.

    This was truly beautiful
    and filled with deep emotion.
    The only thing I would suggest
    is to change the colour of your
    font, as I had to highlite the words
    to read, I couldn't see anything.

    Other than that, this was
    very well penned.

    Best of luck & thanks for entering

    This is a touching topic and i believe you have focused on an aspect not usually focused on - the anxiety felt. As a person i also have to inquire - are you alright? Eating disorders are in my opinion the single most destructive state of mind. Feel free to talk.
