feeling down..
i write a lot of poetry when i get depressed….i am struggling alot right now with some issues…just wanted to share my work with you guys :)
its regarding an 8 year struggle with an eating disorder
its funny…its frustrating…its frightening…..its lonely….its all too ironic.
when you spend years with secrets, hiding who you are, denying the confrontations, refusing the help, ignoring the people who cared, putting a smile on for everyone except yourself.
there comes a time when you can’t hold it inside anymore. the fear, the anger, the helplessness that you feel has got to escape…it’s spilling out into your blood, its all you think about….you will be consumed.
but now there is no one there to hear you…no one left to listen, no one there to hold your hand. your in too deep. you spill your guts out, wishing, praying that someone will look into your eyes and give you the hope that you so desperately need. but it doesn’t come…
its when you want to change, when you want to get better, that you are left to fend for yourself. i’m just hoping…praying, that somewhere inside of me is the strength to fight a war. its a fight to the death…and knowing eyes watch me die inside everyday, if they only knew how much i needed them to care, maybe then i wouldn’t be counting the days till my defeat.

Wow! This is really sad…but very expressive, in a good way! I hope you’re winning, or have won, your battle! Cheers! :)

There is alot of truth in what you right. I’m sorry that you’re struggling with some issues right now but I think your poetry will help you get it out in the open which will be good for you.

I’m sorry you are counting the days until your defeat. I don’t think you’re going to be defeated. I think you’re going to find happiness and live until your 106. I wish you would read a good book by a wood burning stove in a cabin in the mountains in Colorado. :) Take some time for yourself and don’t dwell on your anxieties and feelings of inadequacy.
