The pain hurts,
But it feels good as well,
I want to be be accepted
Even if I have to walk through hell
I am not "Cool"
I am not "Skinny"
I am 93 pounds
Hoping I will soon be "Mini"
Yesterday I did not eat,
I will not eat today,
I will not eat tomorrow
Or even the next day
I want to be skinny,
I want to be cool
I exercise everyday
and swim in the pool
I know this is not healthy,
I know I could die
But being accepted is all I want
I want that gap between my thigh
My friend tells me
"Have a slice of pie".
I have never told her
Of my new life.
Doctor told me today,
That I will die
He gave me three weeks
So I guess this is good-bye
Do not hurt yourself,
Please do not make the same mistake
It is not worth the pain
It is not worth the heartache
I wanted to be accepted
I was mislead
Society is wrong
Now I am dead
There is not turning back
There is no second chance
I want to feel the sun again,
And learn how to dance
I was anorexic
I made a wrong choice
So promise me one thing:
Tell my story, be the heard voice
But it feels good as well,
I want to be be accepted
Even if I have to walk through hell
I am not "Cool"
I am not "Skinny"
I am 93 pounds
Hoping I will soon be "Mini"
Yesterday I did not eat,
I will not eat today,
I will not eat tomorrow
Or even the next day
I want to be skinny,
I want to be cool
I exercise everyday
and swim in the pool
I know this is not healthy,
I know I could die
But being accepted is all I want
I want that gap between my thigh
My friend tells me
"Have a slice of pie".
I have never told her
Of my new life.
Doctor told me today,
That I will die
He gave me three weeks
So I guess this is good-bye
Do not hurt yourself,
Please do not make the same mistake
It is not worth the pain
It is not worth the heartache
I wanted to be accepted
I was mislead
Society is wrong
Now I am dead
There is not turning back
There is no second chance
I want to feel the sun again,
And learn how to dance
I was anorexic
I made a wrong choice
So promise me one thing:
Tell my story, be the heard voice
This is a poem about an anorexic teenager. In the beginning, she describes how she will do anything to be accepted into society. Then, she stated that she hasn't eaten in a long time, and exercises aggressively everyday. She knows the dangers, but she is willing to take the risk. Later, her doctor tells her that she took it too far, and she will die. During the end, she describes how after she died, she realizes and has made a mistake and society mislead her to killing herself. She requests to the readers that they should tell her story to prevent others from making the same mistake she did.
