“Why can’t you smile?”
That’s what she asked me when she saw me hiding.
All alone in the corner,
Skipping another meal.
“Can you at least try to eat?”
I looked away, she didn’t know.
I was dying inside, about to break
With no way of fixing me.
I… try to hide, smile
But… I can’t.
Breathing hard I tell her
“I can’t.” “Not now!”

My hair is thinning
My bones are creaking
I feel the cold breeze hit every vertebrae as I assend into a room.
My bones are more like spikes now.
Jabing everthing I touch.
You must handle me gently.
For the lightest squeeze can bruise me.
When my trouble began i was an insperation.
But now, I dont recognize who i am.

Yes I've known you for a while.
Yes you are one of the few who have made me smile.
Your bleach blonde hair.
Roaming the halls with you there.
Getting in trouble together over the summer.
Going to lunch with each other.
The lunch was bad.
But it was all we had.
We had each other and that was all that mattered.
Past and future

try, try, try once more
you can't be perfect but don't be a bore
try, try, try and see
one day soon this fear will leave
try, try, with all your might
maybe one day you will be thin and lite
try, try, try the pain
pretty is still pretty when pretty's in vain

Silence

Digging
The search for words
Leaves me empty and blister-handed
Despair and thought swirl in a voiceless dance
Between my ears and
Any will I've had to speak
Disappears where my breath meets my lips
Guttural instinct has me know
There are things that need to be said
Words to be exchanged
Explanations waiting
Perched
Perilously on the edge
Of solving all
And no going back
And yet

Silence. And everything is dead.

as time goes on so does her
she only  see's one side of this life
yet there are two that are just for her
she has a mind
then a soul
she knows of her mind
she knows what she thinks
yet not what she truly feels
she fights for what she believes
not for what is safe
she want her desires safe or not
as time fades her soul slims
her mind take's control
she forgets her place
she is s shark in a pool of people
she cannot see what she is doing
her soul is weak
she soon becomes devoured by within
and by then she is gone and had taken her innocence
she had taken her footprint on the earth and washed it away
time shall go on and she shall stay still.
sorry I know this is bad but I am just trying to figure the layout of the website.

A speck
It festers

Silently
Growing

Leeching
Unnoticeably

Raspy voiced  
Less than whispered

Barely noticed
A pesky itch

Ignore
A twitch

Ignore
It won't exist

Ignore
Fade away

Please
The edge is turning grey

The plague is back
Black

And here to stay

In truth
It never really went away
She
She wanted to be pretty, she wanted to be accepted.
Nobody loved her not even herself.
So she decided to lose weight, she just wanted to be pretty
"10 pounds," she said.
She started exercising a few times a week and eating less.
Then every few days turned into everyday and less became nothing.
The voice in her head got louder. *"How many secrets can you keep?"

No one talked to her except the voice inside her head.
10 pounds became 15
15 became 20
20 became 25
and 25 became 30
She stood in front of the mirror, naked, smiling
hipbones jutting out of her body, spine showing.
She put her hand around her wrists and touched her pinky to her thumb.
She was so happy standing there smiling her bones showing an extreme amount.
She finally felt happiness, she was finally pretty.
She failed to notice anything happening around her, distancing herself from everyone because that's what Ana said to do.
She always listened to Ana.
Ana told her no one would love her if she was fat.
Ana said she needed to lose more weight, that she was still fat.
So that's what she did, but sometimes she would lose control and eat and eat and eat.
She had to throw it up she couldn't keep that inside and let it sit. She had to get rid of it.
So she did she threw up until she couldnt throw up anymore.
She hit a new low, 80 pounds.
And that was it that was the end. Her mom found her lying on the bathroom floor. Unconscious and she panicked. How could she have not noticed?
Now her baby was gone, dead, she couldn't bring her back.
Ana took control of her life and stole it. Stole her soul, her personality, her identity, her life
She mind was dark and her body was thin, all she ever wanted was to be pretty. But what she thought was beauty cost her, her life.
