Victim#1

She steps out of the shower but leaves the fog on the mirror

To hide her eyes from her, self proclaimed, horrible figure

She's naked, she cringes, she wants to be thinner

The magazines that she reads shred the confidence in her

The obvious winner, beauty products that cover her skin

And adverts that don't tell her beauty comes from within

She sits and she cries with her arms wrapped round her knees

She thinks as she sighs 'what's happened to me'

'Back in my teens,' she screams, 'I was beautiful

'where'd it all go wrong? How'd I lose it all?'

Now she's paranoid about cellulite and cuticles

Applying lipstick in toilet cubicles

Attempting to achieve the picture perfect image

Of the nip-n-tucked photoshopped pixel perfect women

Slimming, losing weight, another small benchmark

But the cuts on her wrists are much worse than her stretch marks

She smiles once a while but it's strange to see

Because she's cried so many times the tears have stained her cheeks

Gracefully, the Queen of Diamonds digs a bigger hole

Painfully, she tries to hide from her inner soul

The body is a temple, the body is a blessing

It's a fucked up world when we all hate our own reflections

We step out of the shower, we leave the fog on the mirror

To hide our eyes from our, self proclaimed, horrible figure

You get so alone at times that it just makes sense.

Hey, tell me. Do I have a sick mind. Am I not healthy. The bigger the number is, the more disappointment I feel.

Just a heads up, I do not have bulimia. I do not think it is a good idea and I do not recommend it. I just read a story and I felt inspired to write this. I can imagine it now.

Pain #1

To start off with, I have to say, I'm not quite sure if what I had was actually anorexia. Its hard to say. I was not taken to a specialist or a doctor about it.

God, I hate myself. I look in the mirror, and stare at myself in disgust. I look at the mascara under my eyes and down my cheeks. I look at my body and think how it will never be good enough.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, Out of it come countless demons What is inside, what shouldn't be Reaching, crawling, out the abyss Groping and taunting, all around me I cover my ears to their sneering...

These Bones Are Mine2

December twenty second, 8:38 pm. Saturday night. I told them I couldn't hang out. I meant I didn't want to. I told them that I felt sick. I meant that I was dizzy from not eating all day.
