Your unwell she says With a look of dismay I'm fine I insist Tho the slits on my wrist Suggest otherwise
Your weight is dangerously low She tells me I tell her, my weight is fine As i disagree And so commonly as we do We agree to disagree But to what degree was I willing to sink Before I reached the brink The breaking point You need to be here she reminds me I reply quietly That this place is for the sick And me, I am fit. I am the picture of health I speak Tho the weakness in my voice Suggests quite the opposite So in silence we sit And wait And the clock it ticks As the minutes pass by It's okay to cry She reassuringly speaks And slowly but surely Those minutes pass into hours, days and weeks. And I start to open up my eyes a little Perhaps even start to realise That maybe she was right and I was wrong That maybe that self defeating song I'd played over in my mind Had started to unwind me from The real me, from reality. That maybe I wasn't quite the person I thought I had been And that maybe those seems I'd sown To protect myself Had actually served in destroying my Physical and emotional health
Currently in hospital for my anorexia, have been for two months. This is a little something I wrote up after a meeting with my key worker..
