It's true what they say
When you first start starving yourself
At first you feel the pain
The hunger strikes
You go to sleep and forget about it completely
The next day it gets worse
You smell your moms cooking
Or you go out and your friends decide to go eat
But you just sit back and feel the hunger strikes
Your stomach begging you to eat
But you don't give in
The next day comes upon
You don't feel anything anymore
You feel numb
And you don't care
Someone asks you if you want to eat
You just say no
You forget about the hunger
Your stomach doesn't beg anymore
It knows you're to stubborn to listen
So it does what it always does
It eats
Not food
But all the fat you carry on yourself
And at that point
You feel successful
Start losing weight
You slowly
Start getting obsessed
With not eating
With losing weight
You are now skinny
But you are stuck in between
Of life and death
Are you proud of yourself now?
Did you earn what you thought you would earn?
No
Everyone stares at you
Like if you're some freak
Now you feel disappointed
On yourself
But since you've already gotten
So obsessed
With the fact that you don't eat
You keep on doing it
No matter of
All the people judging you
Slowly
But surely
You get closer to your death bed
And when you do
All you can do
Is lay there
Think about what you did
And why you did it
Was it worth it?
You start to realize
That it was a mistake
That you want to take it all back
That you will force yourself to eat again
Even if you feel disgusted by the idea of it
But its to late
You start seeing the light
All you see
Is
WHITE
