ED

Not Just an *Eating* Disorder

I wish you’d

understand that

anorexia is not

about weight.

I starved myself

of passion

because I didn’t

deserve to have joy.

I purged

all of the light from my eyes

because I couldn’t

allow myself to be healthy.

I binged

on razor blades

because I

deserved pain.

I over-exercised

the thought of suicide

because I just

wanted to disappear.

It was never

I need to lose weight

no.

It was just

i need to lose.
