Anorexia
December 19, 2008
Picture perfect
How thin can you go?
Up for a challenge?
Painful and slow.
Waiting it out
Obsessed with forbidden
Skip one more meal
Keeping secrets hidden
Insomnia increases
Watching seconds tick
Saying you’re not hungry
Denying you’re sick
Grinding teeth
Vision wavering
Tastes long forgotten
You’re still savoring
Standing outside
Feels so cold
Approaching blackness
Then legs fold
Hospital bed
Haven’t awoken
Tearing eyes
Lives are broken

I do like the flow of this peice. The rythem is perfect. I also like the simplicity leading down to so many thougts, it lets ur mind go loose and gets you really thinking. the comparison is nice too :)
