Oh how I wish I was skinny I look at all the other girls They have small waists I feel like a fat monster I eat, eat, eat Then throw it back up And I repeat It's never enough People say I'm skinny too, But they're just being nice They know how I look They don't know everything I've tried I don't eat for days Then I eat so much Sometimes I eat enough, Then it comes all back up

Skinnier
It seems like lately Its all been pain and frustration And I realized That I go to counseling And I'm told about how toxic All of my relationships are And I realize That I don't know who to love anymore And I just don't know If it's worth it to me To rid myself of poison foods If it means I'll have to starve.

That Don't Make It Easy
Master of Arts The soul of mine, I cannot find! I’m lost in the ocean, amongst crashing waves — I’m almost blind! Mastering of Arts, I beg of you — let the fates be kind I have been good, haven’t I? I’ve fed my body well and kept my healthy veins — ... my mistake was that I hadn’t fed another anything but grains — But, I don’t understand? I too am a man! with needs of my own, and I support a wealthy land! I have wives that lay by me, I feed them well with my hand Is that not enough for you master? Sight o’foreseeable! What comes of me now? too lay like a fish? I hope that comes by faster! The waves ripple, the water crashing by at my feet I scatter away, frightened by the coming dribble The sky was turning dark — an upcoming storm was to pass by, I had no shelter and nothing here to eat My stomach growled, too loud of a sound It had been awhile since it’d done that, I was always kept satisfied Now, nothing’s here — not fishes nor ground The sky roared, electrified The storm was approaching too soon! No blues, No light loomed Overhead. Only the thundering boom. Too much to bear! Too much too weigh! Oh Master of Arts! I’m sorry I hadn’t looked down the lanes! I saw them too, Ah! They had been too frail and somber! Starving all day! Forgive me, Master! I won’t make another... the seas are crashing courses with their waves, Stronger each time, “I don’t have all day to be saved!” But lightning struck, and I swore to keep my place in line now isn’t the time to be a swine! Selfishness is another seed to be taken, enough to make you blind Master of Arts I swear to you, I’ll pay more mind to the frail, aching bodies of the souls in need I have enough — I swear it! — to feed! Master of Arts, Let the fates be kind.. I swear I have changed, my mind, my acts, my scroll Amidst all I have realized My role

I take my pen As i want to stand still Applaud their pain Everything is against their will For their lives they had a plan. Fearless Being separated from their family Look how they're starving Do they deserve? Look how they're suffocating This isn't correct Look how they become homeless Nobody wants to address this This isn't fair. They become more than hopeless Snatching away their rights Burying their dreams Dreams of the innocent children.

Look
I was on my zone Ready with weapon My heart hard like stone Head stands like mountain Fearless fighting alone Being guided with my inner tone My body never want to frozen My story shall be told When i am gone A story of a very brave and courageous son Fight with  those left us to starve.

my propensity to manifest demons into people consistently projecting the tragedies of my own imagination into other people my desire to eject leaves me like the cockroaches hungry and filthy but i didn’t make me right? theres nothing in me that wants it why can’t i starve the deep hate eat the world’s abundance decadent and I, undeserving i’m tired of not feeling something only feeling nothing drive my skin against the walls that i built up just to long for them to fall but it’s not me no accountability ready it’s you and me i need purity to know you want me not just me in you you make me feel nothing close of void sleep with me just me i promise i don’t see

haiku 21/2/6c (old memory)
the starving child with filthy hands reaches quietly towards me for anything i can give knowing from experience that cries will fall on deaf ears i turn my face away refusing to feed the pathetic creature because i want some semblance of superiority over something for once in my life because when i was starving not for food, but for something far more filling i too was left wanting and i need someone to feel that desperation too because i want that child to learn as i did that the world is a cruel place and that you need to learn how to feed yourself or perish in slow starvation because when you give away all that you have leaving nothing for yourself to gnaw upon you are no better than the starving masses you serve and death is far better than what you deserve the child and i will starve together

starve
The first time I contemplated suicide was at the age 13. Sleeping pills. Just like mom. I wanted to dream forever. Many more occurrences followed that year. The next was at the age of 15. Cutting. Finally had the courage. I took a broken shard of glass and I Finally found the anger inside of myself. Following that was the age of 17. Self inflicted pain. Heartache seemed worse at the time. I dug my nails into my skin. Making scars seemingly physical now. I finally found a way to release the pain. Last night, I contemplated suicide. I promised that I wouldn’t go through with it. But who cares? Who could stop me? Who would want to? I’m happy. I swear, I am. You know I am. I only fake it a little bit. But sometimes, I don’t think I can do this anymore. I don’t think I can live anymore. At least not by myself. I hated myself, And time and time again. The hate seeps through the bleeding cuts. Sometimes I starve myself. Sometimes I hurt myself. Sometimes I hate myself. Sometimes I contemplate suicide. But tonight I cut the pen into paper. Bleeding out my vulnerability in hopes to die poetically.

Poetic Suicide
Don’t starve to life An emaciated buffet unveiled A feast of scraps Hungry for your nutritious deceit Portioned promise Bloated truth dripping And yet you're full

starve
i choke on these words that have fled from containment i sob and i take gulps of air like hydration i starve to maintain this excess of hate that sits loud and patient across my whole navel i blame these sharp words that sneak out through my teeth they lash out at you as you stare wide at me my headlights alarming your doe eyes (no malice apparent but it breeds behind light) as i speak in these slices of sentencing spite (then i silently lie and regret in the night) thought i grew this act out, but i caved it all in let it push its way up let it surface my skin just to see myself lose what i thought was a win

spite
Starving myself and subjecting myself to hunger as a way of punishing myself for ruining things with you Or maybe it was just too hard to leave my bed after i'd drowned myself in tears Finally being able to eat a full meal without gagging, an appetite built up for years Feels good to be putting the pieces back together I'm not whole again I'll never be whole again But at least i'm not shattered

Appetite
I want to die Peacefully, on my own terms Without pain or hurt On my own So that no one Has to bear a loss Though they wouldn’t be missing much ••• Trigger warning ⚠️ (again, just in case) ••• I often ponder How I want to die Do I jump off that balcony, Or cross that street? Do I use this knife, Or just not eat

Daily Suicidal Thoughts (trigger warning)
Bony parts bruise faster. I think to myself. I look down at my arms. They are tinted yellow from the fading bruises. Fatty parts bruise harder. I think to myself. I look down at my thighs, they have black spots scattered over them. I sigh and touch my collarbones protruding from my body. I stack the coins. I can fit 17 on each collarbone. I look in the mirror and I know I am looking at a hollowed out skeleton, but all I see is me .. just as I've always looked, grey, boring, ordinary...

Starving
The growling of my stomach reminds me I'm alive. Over and over relapse after relapse, when will my body finally collapse? Not eating for days, is it from the depression or for the control? The control that I cannot grasp so I try harder and harder as my heart beat gets softer and softer. Never will I be thin enough but I can sure try if I can't control my mind, why not the size of my thighs. Summer twenty-eighteen, five days of no food, five days of stumbling upstairs and stumbling from the hall to my room. Falling in the shower, black spots in my vision. Fall of twenty-eighteen, trying to recover, but now I scream in the spring. In my mind, I yell not to eat hoping to control the storm of insecurities in my head.

Control
I feed my habits And ignore my needs As distasteful as it seems My plan succeeds I plant the seeds That grow the weeds Won't feed myself I starve, deceased.
