Dwindling Shadows
October 31, 2016
I watched how their words changed you,
And you lost yourself to whispers.
While your body erased itself from the world,
Everyone tiptoed in your dwindling shadows.
I wasn't sure if you would ever grow back.
And when I look at you now,
I think I still see skin and bones in your eyes.

I don't even know how to explain how much I love this poem and how much I relate to it. Thank you for writing this!
This piece was inspired by watching one of my best friends suffer from Anorexia.
