Alone again in my room
Running a 2k
In a month without training
Parents are disappointed
And second helpings have gone
The doctor says I need to gain
20 pounds, seems a lot
But my parents agree
I’ve agreed but
I just want to lose more
Blacking out
Diet Coke
Physics lab scales
5 years of this
A lifetime to go
Sertraline sickness
Paying off my debt
Propranolol prayers

When I opened the door to our cottage, I was relieved to see my little sister has yet to turn into a lifeless corpse. She laid there just as steadily as I left her, under a thin white sheet on her fragile bed, silently fighting for each breath she took.
“I’m back, just like I promised I’d be.” I sat atop the stool beside her bed, and placed her aching hand into my own.
If she had the strength to...
I’m mortified by you
Darling
You made me hurt
And everyone saw
Emotions
I try to keep so
Hidden
From this frosty world
Yet if you said the world
I’d let you
Mortify me over and over again
Until finally you get sick of my beaten and crippled soul
Because Darling
I adore you...
She hid in the closet from a man that wore an apology and hated herself for the tears that fell there.
She sat on the couch with a monster who wore a man and hated herself for trembling there.
She looked upon a friend who became a monster and never looked again.
She sat and hid, she spoke and grinned, but never did she ever look again....
I breathed in the crisp, warm summer air. These nights were the best for clearing your head after a hard day. As I walked I took note of the eerily quiet of the town around me, it was always quiet at night, but this was a different quiet. There were no animals or bugs. Just silence.
