To Eat Or Not Poem by Crystal Pierce

Anorexia, it rings in my mind.
To be thinner is my goal.
Maybe the scale would be more kind.
Not eating is a toll
Hunger
It's lurking in my stomach
No sugar in my blood making me faint
Food sounds delicious
But I know the weight will never be gone
If I reach for the fork it's over
Water helps curb the cravings
Rubber band popping my wrist
leaving purple reminders not to eat\not to eat more than a nibble
My friends tell me no
But I want to be thinner
Hunger
Hunger
The pain always there
Trying not to think
No calories for me please
Water
Yes water help me curb the craving
Popping, purple bruises
To eat
no, never eat again
