The Comfort of Anorexia

Food. 
Supposedly so good.
Calories add. 
 I'm mad, you're sad. 
The hunger comforts me.
It shows my success and victory.

Egyptians Sideways

The Egyptians walked sideways I figure to conceal the fine points of their figure. In a desperate scrimmage with their own body image diet mania they would prefigure.

Leaving Ana

you hurt me, yet I remain calm  
you try to kill me, yet I remain calm  

but why does it hurt  
when I need to say goodbye?  

recovery is the winner  
yet it feels in disguise  

because I just can’t believe  
I deserve to survive

Anorexia the Impostor

Sneaky
Deceitful
Calculating and cruel
It poses as your friend
Offering comfort 
Strength
A sense of achievement.

It isolates 
Jealously guarding the relationship
Until it infiltrates 
Every cell of your being
And claims you 
As its own.

Rythmn of the Beat

Listening to the rhythm of the beat 
I move my feet the speakers 
Blowing loud every time we meet
When i speak it seems like 
My flow is so sick i can't eat
Anorexia dementia from my lack of similac
Crack back to snap back i bounce back 
Then sit down fall back an relax


Anorexia

The smell sprays spreading
Of delicious food
From a palace above
  
In a poor hut bellow
Smoke of boiling water
Potatoes for hunger

Servants chivvy    
Serving variety of tastes  
 
Empty plates wait
Impatient children yawn
  
Sound waves of two cries prang together 
One for hunger 
One for objection

Regarding My Calories

Praise those numbers on the chart
weighing low made me reed trim - 
dear calories I've come this far
oily food intake quelled my buldge.

Now,two thousand units of energy
means lettuce, celery servings a day,
and though anorexia is my mantra,
I'm calorifically grateful, but hamburger deprived.

Premium Member Sassy Pot-Ish Non-Chic

I weigh two six and twenty-tons today
Fat in unforeseen directions, 
I make cars cringe, when I frolic and play
And I welcome no corrections.

Mighty fine in my well-endowed blubber,
Sassy pot-like, in my non-chic.
Whale-ish me, trice big as my mother.
Loud and proud, forgiveness don’t seek,

I have earned this fat, every little bit.
Come by and see me, if you have true grit.

The Silent Cries of Anorexia .

my stomache burns 
i do not want to eat 
he says i shouldnt
i agree 
he stairs with disgust
i look away with shame 
after every meal 
i run to that bathroom 
..i gag myself
letting out all my anger
all my frustration
..all my hurt 
i walk out with a smile 
a smile ,hiding pain
hiding bruises
this is too much 
..for me
he finds pleasure in my pain
pleasure in my tears
..in my silent cries
