Im sick

My own thoughts on my eating disorder

Im so tired

Of never feeling good

Im so tired

Of trying hide beneath this hood.

 

Im trying to get

Over this illness

Iside my head

Im trying to get

Over this sickness

Racking my body with pain

 

Im sick of

Never eating

And never feeling right.

Im sick of

Never hiding this beating

And never taking a bite

 

In the end

Im sinking

Slowly to my horrible end

In the end

Im stinking

Because of this stupid trend

 

But I guess

I'll die happy

Becuase I'll die skinny

And when I'm all sappy

Then you'll know its true.

sad feel. acceptance of having a disorder. never think along the lines of.. i'll be happy when i'm dead'' think '' wait till you see how amazing i can be.. i'm going to beat this''

yes, i've heard eating disorders can be really hard to overcome, but it CAN be overcome. kill the disorder. don't let it kill you.
it's your life.

I have never understood eating disorders, must be a really trying disorder to deal with.

Nice piece.

well, if this is happening to you then i will gladly stuff the food down your mouth :) haha, this poem truly gets to the emotion and is a very well written write. Well job!

this could use some restructuring but it shows the true emotions of someone wwith an illness like with my poem beauty of the lost soul they both discribe true illnesses and i think that because we have both gone through or are going thru they have more of an impact.

Very sad. You can beat. I know someone who had anorexia nervosa in the early 80s. She was treated very badly, doctors telling her she made her self sick so she could get well when she wanted, telling her she could eat if she wanted to or telling her she as abnormal. She thought it was worth dying for, to be skinny. I hope you make it but the way society fawns over skinny young girls it is hard.

Oh, this is sad~ I had anorexia when i was very young.
It took awhile to get over was told it was like i couldn't control things in my life but eating or not i could ..
I know the feelings. Nothing good..

You wrote this well.. I wish you well also, you are stronger than the disease!

I don't know. Myself I don't like woman who are too thin. I like them who have something to hold on to. I never understood the desire to be so thin. Maybe Hollywood. The sexy woman in Hollywood ain't skinny. Poem is very good. I know it is a battle to desire perfection. But perfection is in the eyes of the beholder. Ending was very good. Is sappy a good feeling?

Be strong and overcome the things that make you weak. don't let them overcome you. This poem fascinates me and I love how you have structured your poem for each stanza except the first to have six lines thats very clever
