I sit
I wait
Watching the
Food on my plate
Willing myself
Not to eat

Temptation
takes a win
All I want
Is to be thin
But I can't control
These hunger pangs
My dear
Save your beautiful soul
At least till tomorrow
When all will be clear

My dear
Tomorrow you can look
Past the heartbreak and sadness
And the pains that sear

My dear
You deserve to live
Beautiful soul
You have nothing to fear

My dear
Please hang on
Through this one night
Hang on for one more year
I stand
In the middle
Of a crowded gym
Noise everywhere

All I ever want is to be alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
But there is nowhere to be alone

So I suffer in silence

Later it is lunch
I sit at my table surrounded by friends
They speak of people
In ways that aren't good
But I am scared of being different

So I suffer in silence

After school I come home
To a house full of people
And all I want is some time to myself
Without being yelled at or scolded

So I suffer in silence
The walls around my mind
Are Japanese screens
With intricate designs
Of memory
Printed on them
Easy to break
But easy to repair

The walls around my heart
Are made of obsidian
They protect a delicate city
Untouched, as of yet, by human hands
Hard to break
When they do
How much damage will be done?
