Eating Disorder Poetry

Hide Away

hide away
in my shell
sinful secrets
i'll never tell

paint the outside
nice and bright
but inside
i never see the light

you see happy
i'm desperately sad
you give praise,
but i know i'm bad

the pain i feel
you'll never see
i'll hide it all
you'll let me be

alone again
inside my shell
my world of darkness
my living hell
