Exposed
September 25, 2015
I'm lying.
It started white as snow,
But grew as dark as coal.
The pit of my hypocritical heart is growing cold.
They know I'm lying.
No longer is it hidden behind 4 walls.
It's starting to show.
The questions pierce my mind as the lies become visible.
Hidden doors begin to open.
I see a future of death and destruction.
It's time to stop lying.
I shiver in my cold blood waiting for the lies to attack what's left of my body.
Every bone has been exposed.
I can't hide anymore,
because now
I'm dying.

Almost a year healed from an eating disorder, I continually remind myself of the people who are still struggling. I love to relate with people, but also share the hope that I have found through my own experience. This poem describes a small portion of how my mind handled having an eating disorder, and physically dying from it.
