My Body & Mind

My battle with Anorexia.

My body
Is becoming weak.
My mind
Is becoming anxious.

My body
Is growing tired.
My mind
Is growing depressed.

My body
Is losing weight.
My mind
Is losing thought.

My body
Is showing more bone.
My mind
Is showing signs of poor concentration.

My body
Is hungry.
My mind
Has no appetite.

I’m lost,
I’m alone,
I’m scared.

It's just something I did quickly. I know it's great, but what do you think?

As a schizophrenic I can relate to the message in this poem not line by line but in words of my own

Your last 2 stanzas really leave me stunned. How beautifully and painfully honest you have captured such deep and raw emotion! The body and the mind plays tricks on one another and you have painted that in such a unique and real way.

Thank you very much! It means a lot.

I like the way you structured this, "My body...My mind...." Writing is the best release. I find it therapeutic. I hope you do too.
