Anorexic

The weight that's on my shoulders,

I just can't seem to shake.

No matter how much I give,

There's those who take.

My body thins in the mirror,

As my nightmares show through.

There's a gaunt ghost watching,

My every step and move.

The mirror looks out at me,

Driving me insane.

Why is the world so heavy,

My heart is full of pain.

Emotions take a trip,

On a never ending ride,

And the moon light is pulled under,

The raging winter tide.

The body moves so slow,

So heavy in the air.

They tell me let time pass,

And God will mercy spare.

They say let the heavens,

Take the weight of the Earth.

But how am I to do that?

When I have so little worth.

I am not worthy of that help,

Why do they tell me it at all?

So I can have high hopes?

The hopes that will just fall.

I feel so thin and fragile,

So small and so weak.

But this burden I carry,

Is so very precious to me.
