Benjamin David Poet Rhyme

Nervosa

-Dedicated to all those suffering with an eating disorder. Beauty, true beauty, belies a gentrified, pretty exterior. You are not alone-


Benighted whispers and spurning dreams
Forthwith in blisters and burning streams

Shameful saunters in billowing blight
Hereto haunters with pillowing plight

Weep and wither betwixt a bawling bloom
Seep shall deliver amidst a falling fume

Expel and deliver for the morning's bright
Swell and shiver for the swarming's night

Kim Van Breda August 5, 2013 at 7:56 AM Powerful poem on such a common illness-- often hidden, and shamefully endured resulting in dire consequences.

Richard Lamoureux August 5, 2013 at 6:50 AM Highest mortality rate of any mental disorder. So much suffering and one of the most misunderstood diseases. Difficult for the brain to recover due to starvation syndrome. Research has now shown people have a genetic predisposition to the disorder and sometimes all it takes is an environmental trigger to cause it to be manifested. Good for you for bringing attention to their silent misunderstood suffering.
