A
my brother suggested I post some of my poetry. I found one from a few years ago I'd forgotten I even written. This is from when I was 16 and please note this may be triggering and I no longer feel this way...
Secrets and lies
that's all her life is
lying to her parents
"oh, I'm just not hungry"
secretly obsessing
calories.carbs.FAT.
FAT.FAT.FAT
that's all she thinks she is
secretly she cries alone
lying to herself again
"if I purge I'll be pretty"
secretly she's dying
while she's lying to
all her friends
she thinks fast lately
trying to find new ones..
"I don't feel good, I'll be okay though"
"I'm on a liquid diet"
and for one more day
she gets away with it...
Inside she knows
its all just secrets and lies
but she can't stop obsessing
her walls are crumbling
being rebuilt, a prison
written on the walls
are all her empty hollow
secrets and lies
that's all her life is
lying to her parents
"oh, I'm just not hungry"
secretly obsessing
calories.carbs.FAT.
FAT.FAT.FAT
that's all she thinks she is
secretly she cries alone
lying to herself again
"if I purge I'll be pretty"
secretly she's dying
while she's lying to
all her friends
she thinks fast lately
trying to find new ones..
"I don't feel good, I'll be okay though"
"I'm on a liquid diet"
and for one more day
she gets away with it...
Inside she knows
its all just secrets and lies
but she can't stop obsessing
her walls are crumbling
being rebuilt, a prison
written on the walls
are all her empty hollow
secrets and lies
