slipping away
It was true everyone said she was slipping away, drawn and thin and her eyes were always so red. Slipping away, disappearing a little more each day. The talk of her friends and family she is slipping away.Why can’t she see .
Wasting away, the spirit all gone she is so painfully thin what on earth is going on. Pushing us all away , friends, family and workmates more and more she retreats every day.
Eating when no one is there, huge amounts of rubbish food, chocolate, pizza or ice cream she does not care. It does not matter to her it is true. It momentarily lifts her… then she will sick it all up, she knows just what to do.
Loathing, loathing she hates herself she will never be good enough she knows that, she has been told so, for years all her emotions ironed out and slapped flat! Bullied at school, abused at home no wonder she hides her past. She is sure if her friends knew they would all leave and she’d be all alone, and fast!
Her teeth are all rotting, her body wafer thin her eyes are so black you could drown if, too closely you looked in. Slipping away, disappearing a little more each day. She laid on her bed and spat at her demons as she gently slipped away.
