I used to think "wow how could anyone be anorexic"
Now I see why
It's such an accomplishment
"I didn't eat for a whole day, I'm proud of myself"
It makes you feel better about yourself
Worthy of being
The highs are so high
But the lows are so low
"I can't believe you ate that macaroni, you're such a fat *****"
When you do eat something
You look in the mirror
Every piece of fat jumps out at you
Screaming at you
Telling you that you're worthless
You feel so awful you cut
You feel like killing yourself
But it's worth it
This is my first poem that I have ever let anyone read, so any feedback is greatly appreciated

Why must you fight,
To justify you're right?
When it comes to you,
Being mad at mom?

You she doesn't deserve me,
She doesnt care about me.
Well your dead wrong.

She has been there,
When you have not.
She knows I care,
About her a lot.

An abundance of love,
Goes out to the mother who fights.
She will never give in,
Your divorced.

I will not leave here,
And go to that state.
I will stay with her.

Mom loves me very much,
It's who she is.
Ive known here more than you,
In the past eight years.

Don't fight her,
You will lose.
I will return home to her.

She's family.
She's my mother.
Drop the act.

I will go home.
Sooner than I thought.
Family issues never end,
They always surround me.
I can never win.

heal, release, set free
never hold a flame
unless you want
it to burn
your hand
keep it close
but far away
in your heart
it will always remain

Life is unfair huh?
yeah, only if you
let it be.
And I'm sick of
thinking that way.
I'm done making excuses,
and settling.
I am going to
be happy,
whether that means
he's a part of that
or not.

i
out of the blue you came,
and for that i was the blame.

the house was too crowded,
sweaty bodies and red cups enshrouded.

i looked and looked around,
but you didn't want to be found.

and then in the backyard i saw you,
noticed you right through.

i asked you 'what's the matter',
you said 'i would rather'.

i gave you a questioning look,
you asked, 'are you Brooke'.

i chuckled at you guess,
and straightened my dress.

you got up,
and pushed the red cup.

i opened my mouth to talk,
but further you walked.

you cupped my neck,
and gave me a peck.

i gasped for air,
and ran my hands through your hair.

your lips connected to mine again,
and realization hit me then.

i was too good for you,
and you were too good for me.

we didn't match,
we were a mismatch.

but just so you know,
i loved you all along.
even though we both said no,
we were wrong.

you were such a party destroyer,
you destroyed me, completely,
mind and body.
