Starving Poem by Kellie Teter

My body aches
this pain I feel
So deep inside of me
Looking in the mirror
I am disgusted
I am suffering
I can't stop
and I don't know
If i truly want too
This thing that could kill me
Makes me so happy
but makes me so miserable
My heart it breaks
I'm sick to my stomach
Tears roll down my face
my hands they shake....
Why can't this illness
just go away...
I pretend to be happy
I say I'm okay...
But that is a lie,
I'm starving....
