raw beauty
By boundandfallen
raw beauty
lives within bareness
naked bodies, peices of dust
who are you going home with?
what does he look like?
is this just a case of lust?
with black eyes you wake up,
you've better put away your makeup and hide
the peices of your broken heart
you suffer from bullimia
you stick your finger down your throat and purge
purity, pitty, how witty,
you think you are beautiful
your friends tell you you look great
but you don't know what i see
you're blind to what's happening
and you continue
you don't know what you're getting yourself into
after just once you thought you'd stop
but you didn't and you couldn't and you can't
you want to look better and thinner
you want to be a winner
you needed a friend to just hold your hand
a door you could walk through
you needed someone you could have talked to
you needed you
and now here you sit
lifeless
hooked up to an i.v.
you couldn't let it be
and now your parents are confused
what did they do to deserve loosing you?
but you just couldn't see.

Friends that tell someone they look great when they are ill aren't friends at all. A true friend is the one that will tell you, you have a booger in your nose. JD

A fictional tale, but this does happen. Quite often, actually. All thanks to those damn magazines telling everyone how they should look. According to whome? Society?
