Liv
Counting calories, telling lies
She'll keep this up until she dies.
Empty eyes, empty stomach, empty heart, empty mind;
What I've become is enough to drive myself mad
Empty, empty, empty. I'm nothing but sad.
So here it is girls, the rumors were true
I try so hard to be as skinny as you.
A monster, A *******, empty, empty girl;
I'm killing myself with my poor mental health.
Starving for beauty, beauty is pain
My head hurts so bad, I'm going insane.
Clutching my ribs, my thighs caving in
They were right--
Anorexia wins.

Anorexia, all consuming, so fearful
So scared.
A little girl afraid of the world
A little girl afraid of gaining weight
The fear in my eyes
When i step on the scale
Scared of the basics of life.
Stuck in a deep, dark hole
and i don't think
I'll ever get out.

always anxious
You ask me, what anorexia is like.

It's like slipping or twisting your ancle without anyone seeing, no one to help you up.
You sit until someone comes by, they help you up, but after a while you slip again.
This time your sitting in mud and slowly sinking into it.
And when you're two feet into that hole, a person comes by and tries to help you since your anvle is hurt.
But you're afraid they'll fall too so you ask them to leave.
You start to crawl out and finally get up, but slip again.
You fall down in that hole again, and this time you beoke your entire leg.
It starts raining and the hole grows deeper.
It's 5 feet deep now.
One of your well known friends comes by and tries to help you, but ends up throwing you a shovel.
But actually you start to like your hole, you take contact to people, who also fell into a hole.
There are sites on the internet, some shows how to get the deepesr mist perfect hole.
Other shows how to get up.
But you're sad, and you like your hole, so you try to get that deepesr one.
You want to win this, you wanna show everyone who called you weak that you can get the deepest hole in the world.
But when you're 20 feet under ground, and everyone starts to notice your hole.
Everyone is willing to help you.
And suddenly you have 20 shovels, and 20 stairs.
But you can't decide wich one is better.
*That's what being anorexic is like

Ana S
So I'll begin simple and sweet.
She was a beautiful girl and deeply loved.
One day she lost the light in her eyes. Internally she started to die.
We all stood in shock.
All we could do was watch.
Watch as she minimized her food intake and payed attention to calories. I'd cook her favorite meals but she'd just say no thank you.
I held her close one night.
Little did I know that that night was the last.
The last night I would ever see her glassy blue eyes.
Ever wipe the tears she cried. Sweeping her hair out of her face I began to say... Darling, you have to stop.
Look at what your doing to yourself. You've lost over ninty pounds.
You are turning to dust and won't make it much longer.
What do I have to do to help you be stronger.
I've tried it all but every idea just falls. I love you so much baby.
Stop please.
She did stop in the end.
She stopped living.
How I lost her to anorexia.

My darling girl

You're not happy with yourself,
It begins to affect your mental health

My darling girl

You lose weight ******* and then your concert tees don't fit anymore

My darling girl

You say that you want to heal
But how then? If you cannot feel.

My darling girl

I have nothing left to fear
For you my dear, a silent tear.
