poems
one
I fear
for my health.
never believed in
moderation-
all or nothing
at least i'm not a heroin addict
at least i dont smoke cigarettes
but i do hate myself.
a little self destruction
goes a long way.
get to 100
then we'll talk.
two
you know it's funny
i would have given my right arm for you
but you weren't such a friend
i hate to care
i didn't need a birthday gift
i didn't need a call
but i loved that you were there for me
until you let me fall.
you always did scare easily
although you seemed so strong
i guess you're just a colder heart
goodbye, my friend, so long.
three
looking at you
reminds me of the past
i was perfect
long ago
so perfect
even you would have loved me
even you.
when i see him i miss you
with his countless flaws
he is one gigantic flaw
but your only flaw
was that you couldn't
love me.
four
dont tell me what i cant do
this is my body, my life
your wife
runs eight miles
sounds familiar
do danger for you like there is danger for me
danger for me.
gain and i'm history
so much for being friendly
put down the cookie
it's a hop skip jump to obesity
i miss being pretty
oh the power
oh the sweet revenge
oh the sweetness
rum and det coke please
i need to forget
what i have become.
five
i want to walk
among the others
in perfect harmony
i miss them
i hate these dark walls
dark walls
surrounding me
the real me.
no one can see
no one cares to touch
with such a barrier
i need to break free
i need my moment
in the sun...
six
i try to face my
fears, but courage
has only brought me
misery
you dont die from rest
you die from gluttony
i'm already dead
starving gave me life
