A Heart Beats

Behind the mayhem and drama Beat a sweet loving heart A childlike playful heart A heart lacking in self love and worth An isolated troubled heart A self inflicted undernourished heart A heart that stopped beating at the age of thirty eight A heart that should still be beating An anorexic heart

Tell me about it. When the heart is aged it's something else. It's so hard to write about but it must be expressed.

Malnutrition as a cause of death due to mental illness is a terrible thought. Deb, your choice to highlight such a very moving issue is truly respected.

That’s so terribly sad to think a life ends from undernourishment when there’s an illness in the mind.

Social media is to blame convincing, especially young girls how they should look. Yet they continue to screw up impressionable young minds. If I had my way I'd shut them all down. Bit like here really, no policing of the site. Welcome back Deb. Tom
