Anorexia is good for the soul (Free verse) by hobojo
The recipe To get over him A drop kick to the head Of these feelings Smashed Into a million pieces Rolled into a joint Smoked for dinner Dessert? No thanks, I'm full... No more boys for a while Anorexia is good for the soul.

Up the ladder: Writing the Rings
Down the ladder: A bereaved search

Well not quite. Relate it to a mood or a rash, not to anorexia - that's a disease

I was comparing anorexia to an addiction to food and that starvation of this sort would be good for my soul - sorry to use the word offensively if I did so...

Anorexia being the opposite of an addiction to food, an addiction to being thin, which has been a part of my world with this self hate, not being desired blah blah stupid

L9-10 I think could be one line 'I'm full on empty'

The opening 4-7 lines are strongest, not convinced ont he title but like the idea of making a statement to the boys but it needs something more on that as it could be ? reason for why she/he is starving themselves.
