Deprivation

This poem is about my eating disorder that I struggled with for almost a decad. i was sixteen when this poem was written and it is basically just purging (no pun intended. seriously) of emotion.

Deprivation

You can inhale

All of my disorders

Drink them up so quickly

Then purge the pain�"

What else could you do?

You were a grave tiller

Shovels and more

LOVELY

Ever so sweet

I want you to know of this

There was a thief

Ripping away youth

How could anyone dwell there?

Nails of the coffin

As I pound the walls

To honor my beloved

Criminals and deficits

Dial the numbers

Let me suffer this starvation

As the deprivation grows

Let me be weak

Just let me know

Eventually it will end

Could anyone stop this nausea?

Stop this depletion

No one knows my obsession

My longing to wither into nothing

(As I already have internally)

I can feel the bones

And feel the starving organs

Longing for something

THEY WILL NO LONGER SEE ME

WHEN ALL OF THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED

Faces turn

I will be SO proud

To show the world of

My horrid hatred and my fear

And all of my diseases

There are methods

To escape this world

I am captive�"

Let the hands eradicate

Let the throats sting wildly

From pressure

Let them wonder

Let me starve

There’s nothing else this world

Can give

No planets

No soup for the ill

No delight for the hunger

For now…for always

They shall not look again
