Shh.
Can you hear her?
Do your ears perceive the screams?
She’s dying inside;
Shriveling up; drowning in lies.

Shh.
Listen closely.
Her persistent howling gives way to sobs.
Fun house glasses cover her eyes
She gets thinner & thinner; trying to hide.

Shh.
Be quiet.
Concentrate on her misery.
Let it fill you, suffocate you, drown you.
Feel as she does; let your life come unglued.

Shh.
Can you hear her?
Do your ears perceive the screams?
She’s dying inside;
And just like her, you’re drowning in lies.
I wrote this in attempt to describe an eating disorder.
It didn't come out as I wanted, but there it is.
Its the first time Ive written something in a VERY long time.
Um.
Critique please?
