Child Of God: Eating Disorders Poetry


Child Of God

Whats wrong with this child that wanders alone
So lost in the dark and frightened
Who scared this beautiful child of God
And put her in the dark that she hides in
What is this child of God looking for
Often does she wonder
Answers to questions that she can’t find
Or to scared to want the answers
Who hurt this beautiful child of God
Does she hurt herself
By binging and purging and starving herself
What will it take to heal this child of God
Often does she wonder
The answers lies within the child of God
She has all the answers.

Eating Disorder Poetry: TRAPPED



Trapped

My body is trapped in this mind
I try to break free, with fragile arms
No match for the burden of
This madness, sadness
That is heavy
So
Heavy

My mind is trapped in this body
Stagnant thoughts long to break out
To be strong, to step off this painful record
that just won’t
Stop
Spinning

My song is trapped in this mind
Why now does it just sound
Like noise, static. It screeches,
Incessantly, urgently. Where is
My
Voice?

My love is trapped in this body
Somewhere, hiding, beneath this
Cold, callous shell. Oh, it’s real –
Delicate, vulnerable, and trapped
So
Trapped.
