"diuretics" poems - Hello Poetry

I'm trying so hard to fit in, But the pressure is high to be masculine. I go to the gym everyday For at least 4 hours - that's the way to keep on losing all of this weight. I can't remember the last time that I ate. Water fasts, laxatives, diuretics galore, This is an illness no one should ignore. 1 stone, 2 stone, 3 stone gone, Nothing left for my body to live on. But nobody listened when I asked for help in this, Because I am a male my struggles with anorexia went amiss. I became dangerously underweight, My organs began to fail - now I know my fate.

Dying To Be Thin

I'm trying so hard to fit in, But the pressure is high to be masculine. I go to the gym everyday For at least 4 hours - that's the way to keep on losing all of this weight. I can't remember the last time that I ate. Water fasts, laxatives, diuretics galore, This is an illness no one should ignore. 1 stone, 2 stone, 3 stone gone, Nothing left for my body to live on. But nobody listened when I asked for help in this, Because I am a male my struggles with anorexia went amiss. I became dangerously underweight, My organs began to fail - now I know my fate.

Perfect is cold showers in the morning Perfect is long walks 'til your feet are too weary to take another step Perfect is working out 'til you faint Perfect is my hands around my thighs Perfect is my elbows bigger than my arms Perfect is my ribs like guitar strings Perfect is my thumb and my pinky meeting at my shoulders Perfect is my hips like anchors below my waist Perfect is my spine like thorns on my palms Perfect is my collarbones like hinges on my throat Perfect is the immense gap between my thighs Perfect is a diet soda and a ******* for a whole day Perfect is 16 bites a bitsy cupcake Perfect is guilt in every swallow and throwing up afterwards Perfect is slits on my wrist after eating Perfect is my clothes that fit like blankets Perfect is the scale on 35lbs Perfect is to be lighter than air Perfect is size after zero Perfect is lying to yourself Perfect is denying you're starving to death Perfect is 21 calories for a whole week Perfect is not eating Perfect is must not eat Perfect is laxatives and diuretics Perfect is empty Perfect is skinny Perfect is reality in a trance Perfect is just-breathing To embrace perfection is to live inside a dead body with an empty soul; To tacitly prepare for your grave while struggling everyday to survive Perfection is your frame in a frame Perfection is death
