Cut it Off.....(can be triggering, but has a good ending)

caitlin1988's picture

Cut it off.
Cut off my fat.
Cut off my love handles.
Cut off my thighs.
Cut off my butt.
Cut off my stomach.

Let bones show through.
I'll never be good enough anyway.

Cut off my hair.
Cut off my bangs.
Cut off my brittle nails.
Cut off my life.

Let them see that I'm dying.
I'll never understand them anyway.

Leave me be.
Leave me in my misery.
Leave me with my puke.
Leave me with the empty cartons.
Leave me to die along.

Let the world know who I am.
Let them see this is a disease.

I know I'll never be perfect,
and so leave it all on.
Leave on all the fat.
Leave on my hair.
Leave on my life.

Take the puke away,
Take away the voices.
Take away the depression.
Take away the disease.

Leave only me.
Leave me to shine.
Leave me to the world.

Cut off the devil inside.

7 months, 2 b/p, and I can honestly say it does get easier, and better, and the cravings to b/p do decrease. Be strong and determined! "We are not always in control of our feelings, but we do control our actions"
