starved silence
i live in the depths of a fragile mind’s abyss
in a never ending battle, near death’s sweet kiss
a constant struggle with shadows persist
i dance with demons, a relentless fight
in a soul consumed by desperate plight,
hunger’s grip holds both day and night
mirrored reflections, distorted and cruel
my mind weaves a tale, a perverted fuel
perfection whispers, an unattainable jewel
starvation’s clutch, its wicked embrace
invisible wounds take all space
in my search of solace, i know i find
that beneath the surface, under pain intertwined
beauty transcends numbers confined
and true worth lies beyond the mirror’s define
for in the darkest moments, when hope seems strained,
when we feel forever tearstained,
together, we will heal, a chorus sustained.
So let us break the silence and shatter the shame
Illuminate compassion and erase the blame
In unity, we’ll stand, igniting the flame
A world where scars heal, and hearts reclaim

This piece is about my journey in recovering from an eating disorder as a teenager. I hoped to heal through writing this poem, and I hope to aid others in healing as well.
