You miss a meal,
Then it turns to two,
A day passes,
And no one notices you.

Craving nutrition,
There goes a week,
Those many hours,
Longing for something to eat.

Using the same excuse,
"I'm not hungry, I just ate,"
The numbers keep dropping,
Was sixty-three, now fifty-eight.

You can't go back,
People are noticing you,
They say you should eat, and you say,
"You have something better to do."

It's harder than you think,
Just leave me alone!
Stop telling me to eat and drink!
If I need you, I can find my phone.
This poem is about an eating disorder, it’s dangerous and those that have it can be greatly effected. Not only them, but those around them as well.

Took the bow
Pulled the rope and kissed my standards goodbye...
No, it's not my dignity that has been lost, it's the companions of my true soul that I have let down.
I cry in the same tone still
I promise I'm still the same
I'm still broken in the same way
and pretty like since way way...

I took the bow, for a companion
He does not match my soul, no he does not!
But he can fool my heart, just for a little while...
I cry... man I still cry in the same tone!

Being alone my dear friends,
when you are surrounded by voices and smiles is the darkest of woes for human to come to face with.
it's terrible,
I promise it's horrible...
It will make you cry,
but worry not, you'll still be the same... in your tone...
You will still cry in the same tone
because pain, man, PAIN is still spelt the same.

Antonio Vega Jones
Burning in my throat,
Burning in my chest.
Is it just my guilt?
Or am I not at my best?
Lots of mistakes,
Lots of regrets.
I keep making more,
A failure in the wets.
Never drying up.
Still sensitive as a droplet.
Falling into a hole.
Dug by what will follow it.
But I fight to not wallow in it,
Otherwise I might drown.
I only stay heartless.
Or angry,
Just not a frown.
I'll never get better as usual.  Just like that singer, who nobody likes her when she's doing better, you know?  Gotta be entertaining.

Anon
Some people,
Unknown to those around them,
Isolate themselves from the world.
Causing them to have so many thoughts,
Ideas they can't control
Decisions running through their head.
Eventually, they decide it's easier to just, end it.
Not everyone is as happy as they seem

I've found so much peace in silence
but inside it tears me apart
I have a voice
I want to use it
but my words stutter and fail

i tend to use so many words
this time i'll be blunt
i don't love myself
and don't believe anyone else does
