It's not the process
it's not the models
it's not the depression
it's not the empty bottles
"I want the boy to notice me"
"I want to look like the girl on tv"
"I'm still too fat"
"I don't want to be me"
Everyday thoughts
but those aren't the worst parts
it's the recovery
with permanently broken hearts
Starting at ages twelve
but these aren't the only reasons
the story differs
it changes like seasons
"Everyone hates me anyway"
"My parents threw out my stuff"
"I want acceptance"
"I m not good enough"
That's not all
the recovery is the worst
because then you're literally not enough
and your heart bursts
You can't eat properly
you can't pick up weight
you can barely stand up
you can barely think straight
And it's permanent
and it's a lot of hurt
so don't go there
Anorexia is a jerk

Please take this poem to heart in case you can relate or think about someone who might be able. Never go in that direction, and yes I speak of experience. It only causes more problems. If it is the case that you are currently in such a situation, get yourself out of it. No matter what you have to do, just manage to fight your way out. If I did I know you could, I'm open to talk and to listen and to share ♡ if you think you don't matter to anyone, please remember that you matter to me. Yes, maybe we don't know each other but I do hope our paths cross, and if you need a talk, just let me know in the comments or so 😉♥
