Mirror

[Mowgli]

Salaams

 

 

I no longer know that woman I see

in the mirror, staring back at me

she’s not someone I would like to know

her eyes are shaded by a haunted glow

 

I ask her "who am I, if I'm not me"

she looks back, eyes empty

makeup on, hair done, time to go

the facade complete, everything just so.

 

Her friends never hear her sighs of regret

that is something they will never get

and they will never really see

the woman in the mirror, the real me

Take a look in the mirror

Who do you see?

The person in the mirror can’t be me

My waist is thin but my thighs are fat

Maybe if I diet some more I’ll be thinner

Maybe it will make me better then I can finally be all that

My eyes have sunken under bone

I no longer want to be around people

I just want to be alone

Bones protrude jutting and jagged

My voice wavering high and low

My breathing has become shallow and ragged

Taking deep long breaths just to be able to put on a good show

Each day more and more is taken

Into yourself to nourish and protect

After your done binging you deny yourself food

So your stomach can learn neglect

A cycle of binging and fasting is born

A finger gives rest delivering you from bloating and cramping

The clothes that fit to the glove are too loose to be worn

Each morning I wake to more pain

Severe bone aches and my growling stomach

I endure so there can be no weight gain

I use to be healthy and well

I wasn’t obsessed with thinness or the mirror

This eating disorder has become my personal hell
