The girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror
she is not me
she's broken, and tired
and she cannot see
what she does to herself
during the day and at night
her mind is so hopeless
there's just dark, and no light
she says she's not hungry
she can see she's too thin
she is always starving
it is a battle she'll never win
friends worry, and parents cry
they don't want to see this
they don't want her to die
she usually gets ignored
if she's not getting made fun of
those normal happy girls
she wishes she could be one of
This is exactly what anorexia feels like and what it does
This may be a poem, but there is absolutely nothing poetic or beautiful about being anorexic

How can
people actually think it is cute to post things on Tumblr saying
how they have supposedly stopped eating? It is not cute, or
romantic or beautiful or edgy, to deny yourself food.....no matter
what those pro-ana/thinspiration pictures try to tell you....the
fact is, its not possible to completely stop eating..If you think
having Anorexia means you never eat, that is just dumb. Anorexic
people are not superhuman. We do eat....or we wouldn't be
alive. So to all the girls posting things explaining how
"pretty girls don't eat' and how you have supposedly
stopped eating, you are full of crap.....you wouldn't be able
to create all those pro-ana blogs and post things telling others
you never eat....if you were actually no longer consuming
food-stupid people are tragic-they are tragic because there are so
many of them, and they all act the
same
stop judging.
she cuts, because it's her escape.
she starves herself because she wants to be perfect.
she wears makeup to hide her insecurity.
she reads and keeps to herself because she's scared.
she's a b*tch because she's broken inside.
she talks to guys because girls hate her.

words hurt.
If you don't
understand mental illness, good. Good for you. You shouldn't
have to. If you don't
understand why some people can't get out of bed in the
morning, good. I hope you jump out of bed ever single day; ready
to take the world by storm. If you don't
understand how someone could drag a blade across their skin,
good. I hope you're never that desperate to feel
something. If you don't
understand what would drive a girl to keep starving herself
despite everything she's lost in the process, good. Stay
heavy & present & real.
If you don't
understand why he won't just go to church or rehab or find
someone who can help him, good. I hope you always have somewhere
to turn. If you don't
understand how someone can keep swallowing bottles of pills,
tying knots in ropes, or standing at the top of a bridge, good. I
hope you never feel that desperate for
relief. If you don't
understand, good. You're not supposed to. It's all
f.ucking sick. Thank God for ignorance,
it's
healthy.
Everybody
said
She was a winner
No one knew
The secret kept
Within her
Starving for perfection
Hating her reflection
She tries harder
Then the average teen
An overachiver
With low self-esteem
Wants to walk like a star
But she takes it too far
She's never good enough
Wants to be Mary-Kate
Perfect weight, 88
She's never good enough
She was a winner
No one knew
The secret kept
Within her
Starving for perfection

why can i starv myself in peace?

you're going to be an
