my untitled poem

[whatdoihear]

im not a poem writer. but something came over me and i wanted to write about having and eating disorder...


When I look in the mirror I see a

small
dirty blonde
bug-eyed girl

staring back at me,
she yells and screams at me
tells me that I am not

good enough
smart enough
pretty enough

I try to disregard what she says but it keeps popping up
In my mind over and over again
like a popcorn popping in the microwave
I can imagine the smell of the popcorn
The aroma fills my nostrils
Then I think about the popcorn
Filling my empty, hungry, yurning, stomach

My empty stomach fills my thoughts with unhappiness
That my body

Is not pretty
Is not perfect
Is not happy

I think about being happy
Eating popcorn and being happy
Being happy about everything

My body
My soul
My mind

My body is what I don’t like
I like my soul
I like my mind



please tell me what you think? i want everyones opinion and dont hold back...

Sounds personal, insecure about your looks.


No one is perfect and its all about being happy with the way you are.

But I'll give it to ya for writing a poem like that to be read on here.


Nice job

[scurfing]

Nicely done.


I think most poem's are personal for the poet in some way, your poem is pretty raw which is good causewhen you expressyour feeling's of self doubton paper or computer in this case it is often easier to work through them.


Much love & keep writin


Talent should not be wasted
