Behind the Textbook

Health class
Reading my life
Only a paragraph
Pages upon pages of each topic
Eating Disorders: a paragraph
Why
Why am I ignored?
My life condensed into those few lines
Bread crumbs of dinner
Bread crumbs of few words
Starves my soul
They failed to inform us that it was more than just food
It's death
Lies
Distortion
She consumes my heart beats, irregular with malnutrition
Oh if only I knew
Could this have been avoided if I learned about her in school?
She killed me slowly and I didn't fight back
Equipped with weapons? Unfortunately no.
They witnessed me withering away helplessly and hopelessly
I got an A in that class
I got an A in eating disorder
Behind typed words are the true emotions deep in depth like the writhing black sea
Discussion absent as I hold my life speech at the tip of my tongue
No big deal, just death itself.
