I am not fine

by McKenzieB

Fat thats what I am 
Ugly that's what I think when I look into the mirror, that mirror that just looks deeper into my eyes, that sees the hunger that fills them.
Searching for the food that will stop the never-ending disorder.
Help help that's what my mind screams every time I walk past my mom.
My mouth my mouth it ignores my mind and says I'm fine when she asks how I am.
I've always been this size I say when she asks me if I've been losing weight if I am getting smaller.

<p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">When using onomatopoeia this is the corect way.&nbsp;</span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">&quot;HELP!&quot; &quot;HELP!&nbsp;</span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">Use quotation marks and ALL CAPS. When quoting yourself... &quot;I&#39;ve always been this size.&quot; Type the quote as a sentence placed between quotaion marks. Lastly; work on the format so it reads more like a peom and lees like an exert from Word document.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
