Waiting...

I have an eating disorder.
It’s part of me now, like a gene, something I can’t alter.
No one knows; it’s just me.
I’m not sure I could tell anybody.
To binge and purge…
It’s an unbearable urge.
Today, I saw red.
It wasn’t much, but enough to know that I had bled.
Does that mean I’m going to die?
I’ve said I’ve wanted to before, but now I’m not so sure.
I want to keep up what I’m doing, but I don’t want anyone to know.
I’m in my time of need, but where is my hero?
I once thought that he was, but not anymore.
He’s put me at war
With myself and I don’t know if I can stop now.
So take a bow;
Take pride in what you’ve turned me into.
It’s what you wanted, right?
To end my days of happiness and throw me into endless hours of night.
God, how anyone could do this to a person?
My heart frozen,
All emotions either gone or dead.
They were right to have fled.
This body is slowly killing itself.
But wait…it’s not the body; it’s me.
I’m empty.
I’m waiting for the body to slowly wilt away,
Until it has nothing left to say.
I’m waiting for the mirror to stop telling me what I already know is true.
And I’m waiting on him, too.
Someday, he’s gotta change; there’s no way he’ll stay like this forever.
I can wait; better late than never.
I have an eating disorder; I’m bulimic.
My mind is sick.
It’s waiting on something that will never change;
It’s out of his range.
But the mind will keep waiting,
While the body slowly eats itself away…

| This was a wonderfully written poem. It was dark but beautifull. |
