Poem Commentary

This poem is actually about anorexia nervosa (the constant companion who somehow meets the emotional needs of the women who have this disorder). Still kinda needs some fine tuning, not one of my better peices of work, or one that I'm totally satisfied or happy with

Sleeping Beauty

Darkness decends
paranoid delusions
expectations rake
overturn the deep soil
of my underground world
will sleeping beauty wake?

nothing to lose
nothing to gain
nothing to live for
nothing but pain

my constant companion
friends we face the world alone
never lets me down
the only thing that I can trust

slowly I walk the road of death
killing myself to find perfection
nothing I am is ever good enough
no matter who admires me
I will never satisfy myself
