Eating Disorder Poetry

Go Away

Go away, you aren't wanted,
Go away, I don't want to be taunted.
I can't take it, leave me alone,
Let me be by myself, on my own.
To think about my messed up life,
While I cut away my pain with a knife,
While I eat to suppress my fears,
While I purge and drown in my tears,
Or restrict myself from what I need,
Or maybe just give up and OD.
Go Away, I don't want you to hug me,
Go Away, I don't need you, can't you see?
