My Poetry

This poem portrays what it feels like to be anorexic. I recently had done a project regarding Anorexia and it seemed many people didn't know what goes on inside their minds, and hopefully, this poem helps you understand a bit more about Anorexia. Lines in this poem are taken from here where it talks about how it feels to be anorexic.

Anorexia

Death was being fat

Every bite I took

I was slowly killing myself

I wanted to survive though

So I starved

There was no other way

I was obsessed

But how would I have known I was not okay

How would I have known what normal was

That I was addicted

It was horror knowing I didn’t have a choice

I was trapped

There was no way

Self-denial

I denied I was

Hungry

Hurting

broken

I’m okay

But behind I was

Cowering

Scared

Tired

Was there really something wrong with me

Was there really gaps in my heart

No way

There is no way

I couldn’t control it

I couldn’t believe it

You only get one life

and I ruined mine.

This poem is about what it feels like when I jump into the pool. Being fully submerged in the water to me is a very special feeling, and through this poem, I wanted to explain. This poem starts off with me on the diving board for a swim competition and once I dive in I explain what it feels like.

Embrace in Blue

Beep...Beep...Beep...BEEP

When I jump in it’s like I’m in a whole different universe

I feel protected

Like I’m swaddled

Embraced in blue

Not one cm separates me and the water

There is no

Air

Gap

And

space

Between us

It’s as if time froze

My hair flowing slowly

Bubbles escaping from my mouth and nose slowly

My finger and toes pruning up like raisins slowly

When I look down it’s as if I’m going down in a endless path

Just sinking and drowning

When I look up the whole world looks fake

As if I’m dreaming

Blurry and clear

But I know it’s not a fantasy

For when I come out of my embrace

My embrace in blue

And I breathe in

The world I was looking up at is where I am

And the universe I was in I am looking down at

“32 seconds good job you beat most others. Now get out of the pool.”

This poem is for my friend I love and was there for me when I needed them. Many people say the words "I love you" to the people they have affection towards, and this poem is intended to tell them what power and meaning it holds.

There's Nothing Else to Say

I hope you know

I love you

I love you.

It seems so easy

So simple

So meaningless

With no dept

As if it’s just a simple catch and go phrase

But when I say it to you

To you

And only you

It’s different from saying it to anyone else

I really do love you

I love when you

Smile

And your teeth

Your perfect white teeth line up except that one crooked tooth

And your eyes crinkle into a crescent moon

I love when you

Hug me

When you hug me it’s like the time stops

It’s only you and me

I feel protected

Warmth in your embrace

I’m safe and if I could I would stay like that

Forever.

I love when you struggle

When you doubt yourself

Because that’s my chance to remind you

Remind you that you’re perfect

At least to me you are

And I hope that’s enough to make you feel worth it

I love you and there’s nothing more to say.
