My dear,
Have you ever
Waken up sobbing
Because you saw you best friend
Die?
Beautiful,
Have you ever
Looked at yourself
In the mirror,
Sobbing
And starving
Trying to make
Yourself prettier?
Darling,
Have you ever
Laid in bed,
Contemplating
Your own death?
Sunshine,
Have you ever
Been so far
In the dark
That you
Cannot possibly
Save yourself?
Because, love, I have.

Depression quotes
PoetryAnorexia is a cruel thing. It flatters you with images of yourself , telling you that you need to be just a little skinnier. It does not stop until you are dead from starvation, dead from trying to make yourself beautiful.
