EDNOS

By Melody McCoy-Cole

Pray to the thin goddess

My bones ache to the soul

Diet pills religiously

Vomit in the cold

Shiver through the night

Hoping you’ll make it till dawn

Do you think you will survive this winter,

As a skeleton with nothing on?

Pigments have weakened

Things move too slow

Slay the beast inside my head

That forbids my body to grow.

No more nourishment to stay protected, healthy and give heat

This beast seems to never be beat.

Yet I die inside slowly

Pains crippling me from living

Reading the signs of my reflection

Trying to grow into the me that’s kept captive

Oh evil queen will you let me live free,

Let me be human, let me be happy

Please don’t plague the sun

Im scared of the dark

My heart still needs to be lit by a spark

I challenge thee to battle

Health vs beauty

I shall recover and find true valor in me

So I say this to you now my offender of the mind

I will break free from these shackles and shine, oh shine, oh shine.
