Here again,
My body useless
Getting rid
Of the things I need,
To get along
But I'm not getting along
It’s my favorite spot,
But what am I doing?
...suffering...
...beauty...
All I n.e.e.d.
All I w.a.n.t.
-You have IT-
Without suffering
...beauty...
I lay here,
I eat
But I don't grow with it,
I sit here
And I let it out,
No more for me
I must be special...
I must have beauty...
Suffering...beauty
…Suffering for my beauty…
You’re so damn special,
You’ve got the beauty,
You haven't the suffering
I wish I was special
...without...
The Suffering Beauty

WOW, this is sad, but really well written. It is a great perspective on how people feel when they have an eating disorder. I can almost see this as a song, though which is cool. Keep up the awesome writing.

Pretty good. though, personally, I think looks shouldn't matter.

i think beautiful people suffer too... in a different way (although you'd be surprised all of the gorgeous, successful women with eating disorders)
great poem-
i'm glad you're not sick.
