Step one:
Admit that you have a problem.

Hi, I'm so and so,
and I am anorexic.
Wait, am I supposed
to state one problem
or all of them?

Let me start over.

Hi, I'm so and so,
and I am anorexic.
I am a self harming,
drug abusing, attention
seeking, anorexic with
a penchant for seeking
out love in all the wrong places.
I'm an occasional smoker,
a complete *****,
and a highly trained klepto.

I'm also a procrastinator,
does that count?

I'm self-consumed, suicidal,
and sometimes I let water boil over on the stove without cleaning up the mess.
I blame things on other people as often as possible, and never tell the
cashier when they've given me too much change back.

I know that's not all,
but it's awfully hard to remember everything
that's wrong with me right now.

Oh yeah, I'm forgetful. And terrible under pressure.
And at public speaking. I lie...a lot, and actually,
I made some of these problems up.

So I came here to get help.
By the way, when exactly does that start?
Don't ask... No clue where this came from. Just, yeah.
Today I feel like winter.
Weighed down by layer after layer of powdery silence.
Beautiful in theory, but quickly grown tired of.
I love this, but I can't think of a title!
What are words but sounds and consonants?
Semantics give meaning.
  Reason is misleading.
   Forgive me, I am dreaming
    of a day when trees stop bleeding
      for your written words,
        your sounds and consonants.
What is worth
    but a series of crowns and continents?
You turn my heart into an old oak
The saplings on my branches
glow and groan
for sweet rain.

Envelope me in your
satin vines,
Let your soft skirts
brush along my ankles.

Like the violets that reach
their faces towards
the sun,
Kiss me
and let me taste
Sweet Nectar.
There is evil
And there is this
A sharpened blade
Between your lips
A swift pull
Widens the smile
Two apples
Choke
A steel pole
In your hole
Shoved until
It pierces the fruit
A fire lit
Underneath
My mouth waters
Knife and fork in hand
As you roast
