16/M I like writing poems
Monday rolls around I have some cookies, yum Wait, how many calories are in them? 240? How many calories should I intake? Hey, it’s time Let’s ask strangers if my body needs work Tuesday rolls around More cookies Another 240 calories Plus a granola bar How much is that altogether? Will I gain weight? Oh, **** no Wednesday rolls around At least I can say I don’t have belly rolls Does that make this worth it? The not eating The pathetic attempts at purging Who the **** fails at purging? Thursday rolls around I feel better Less dizzy Less hollow Am I eating too much now? Guess I’ll skip lunch and lie again Oh, **** no Friday rolls around Time to get ice cream Who am I kidding? When was the last time I ate without counting calories In the back of my head? I need to be—

Calories, Days, Repeat
There’s something so beautiful, In seeing someone snap. Seeing their willpower fade Their struggles go away. It's sad but necessary. There’s something so beautiful, In seeing someone give up. Stop trying Slowly dying. At least that's what they say. There’s something so beautiful, In seeing someone break. Fully break Sobbing, screaming, slowly fading away. Or maybe I just need it to be.

Beautifully Break
Are people born broken? Are they? Or are they made this way Carved this way I used to think I wasn’t broken Wasn’t alone Wasn’t sad Just bummed out Just going through it But clearly I’ve been lying to myself Who broke me? Better yet Was I broken or did I break myself? Was this preplanned for me? Did “God” plan this? Is it all in “His” plan? If it is it seems like a pretty ****** up plan. Yet again it could be worse I could’ve died in the womb I could’ve died in that car crash I could die right now so why am I still scared? I used to fear death Then I didn’t Then I did An endless cycle I’d like to think if I die today I’d be proud of myself But would I be? Proud of the person I stare at daily in the mirror Who looks back at me? The sad, scared, broken Peter? The “I don’t give a **** Peter” The “Don’t **** me off Peter?” Who knows anymore

Splintered

But not too muscular? Skinny But not too skinny Fat But not too fat God forbid you want a snack May as well snap my back

Pretty
God the irony. It’s actually insane. I wrote my college essay the other day About how I purged and it actually succeeded. It’s funny. That hasn’t happened yet, yet I act like all my efforts to stop are in vain. Do I know deep down it’ll happen someday? One day I won’t be able to stop- god am I really that conceited? I remember my world used to be sunny, Yet now I crave the pain The pain of feeling like I almost cut enough to bleed- will it happen today? Like it’s something I “needed.” Holy **** this is pure irony. Will the toilet finally stain? Will the blood spill today? Maybe it is something I needed… not needed I should say need.

God the Irony
I’m a good-for-nothing **** God I hate this. I hate me. I hate how much of a **** I am. Im a **** They say they miss- Miss me. Can I drown in a dam? I should die for being a **** I should die for letting him say I’m his. God **** me, I should scram. Scram off the face of the earth

**** pt.2
Monster, Heartless, I hate those words. Pretty ironic, because they describe me so well. When we broke up, they almost killed themselves, And I couldn’t even cry. Couldn’t even shed a single ******* tear. What the **** is wrong with me? I should die. I want to die. Why don’t I die? Why don’t they want me to die? Why do they want me alive? Why would anyone want me alive? Im just a waste of space. I shouldn’t be here. So why am I here?

Death
**** It’s a pretty short word. It still cuts deep, Just like a knife. I never thought I’d be in such a rut. I used to think anyone calling me that would be absurd. I won’t make a peep, Can I just end my life? **** It’s the best word to describe me I’ve ever heard. Can I just leap? Will I see them in the afterlife? **** I feel like **** when their words are slurred. The fourth floor doesn’t look that steep, The pain in my heart feels so rife?

****
Isn’t it funny how numbers define us? Whether it’s the number on the scale, The grade in the class, The SAT score. Can anyone discuss? It seems like a cautionary tale, I feel like shattered glass, My heart has been broken laying on the floor.

Numbers
It’s my fault, My fault they tried doing it. It’s my fault, They almost died. It’s my fault, My fault they are in the ER. It’s my fault, My fault they can’t talk to any of us. It’s my fault, I broke up with them. It’s my fault, I broke them. It’s my fault, The world isn’t normal anymore. It’s my fault, We lost one of ours.
