Theia Gwen

Cassie and Lia
Or Ana and Mia?
I don't know who we are anymore
Best friends or competitors?
Both fighting for a place at the morgue
As the first snow falls,
Our blood intermingles
In a pact to be the skinniest of them all
And no one else can see
That we're stuck in a blizzard
Doing anything for beauty
Icy veins and frozen hearts
Numbers shrinking on the scale
Metallic blades leaving scars
Pretty pills and bathroom stalls,
Diet coke and working out,
This is all that we are
We used to be innocent Cassie and Lia,
But when I look in the mirror
I only see Ana and Mia

Based off of the book Wintergirls by one of my favorite authors, Laurie Halse Anderson. It's about two girls struggling with eating disorders, Cassie and Lia.

Ana

I met a girl last summer
Delicacy of a china doll
Just as perfect too

An anomaly to me
I loved her the first day
Can i be perfect like you?

But her sweetness turned sould quick
her demands became heavy
You're still perfect to me

stuck by her through the days
But her hot words burned deep, you know;
Im speaking of a girl with no empathy

Am I perfect yet, Ana, look at me ?

Anxiety

She walks into school
      and it starts again
           the shaking,
               it rips through her like a wave
She hears the sound of the voices
      in the hallway
         yet she cant make out what they're saying
She thinks all eyes are on her,
     everything is just one big blur
She hears laughter and
     she automatically thinks its
        directed at her
She waits in the bathroom
     like she does every morning
        for the halls to be clear
She walks out
     and wipes away her tears

Isaiah

Isaiah keeps me up.
he lets the monsters in.
he helps them try and win.
he talks to me at the wee hours in the night.
reminding me of all my flaws
imperfections and scars.
he tells me how worthless i am.
how terrible i truely am.
he never stops.
the ringing in my ears.
his words, my fears.
his smile, my tears.

Ana & Mia (2013)

Beautiful and hungry,
They proclaim my fears.
They scream out of the darkness,
They whisper into my ears.

"A moment on the lips,
Adds ten pounds to your hips."

It rips into my sides,
It makes my stomach churn.
I guess I'll always think this way.
I guess I'll never learn.

just another girl in the crowd

i'm just another girl in the crowd
trying not to make a sound
they don't know how many attempts i tried to win
how many burns on my skin
how many meals I've skipped
how many cuts on my wrist
how young i was
when i lost it all
my sanity and peace of mind
how many times i cried
i try to escape it all
if only for a while
i put on a show
because they don't know
