Because I wanted to be light and own a flat stomach,but all I got was bloated with severe dizziness.Because I wanted to have fragile hands and cheek bones,but all I got was hair falling off and teeth aches.
Because I wanted to have control by eating less,but all I got was a list of rules with "guilt" underlined.Because I wanted perfect A's and some time to go out,but all I got was med prescriptions and weekly appointments.
Because I wanted to be confident and make heads turn,but all I got was breakdowns and worried looks.Because I wanted to be pretty and perfectbut all I got was tired and sick.
All I wanted was to free myselffrom the burden of being overweight,but all I got was a suicide note,stained at the bottom with my name.
Now I have to decide between dying with my disorder,or survive without it.And all I've got is a hell of a fight,and a will to live.

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
