Eating Disorder Poetry
Anorexia's Mind
Obsessed with perfection
Forever unobtainableObsessed with the mirror
An image that liesUnrelenting disease
Unforgiving punishment
No compromise allowedFood the enemy
Physical touch denied
Emotional relief not permittedVoices demanding
Body left alone with a killerShe will learn to love herself
To live free of the obsessions
That bind her to anorexia's mindBellaDonna
