Circus Act
Where am I? And for God's sake what am I doing?
Constantly walking a tightrope..
I am bound one day to fall..
Waiting all the while..
For my final stage call..
'Ladies and gentlemen, '
I can hear them say..
'The greatest show to be seen today..
What this girl is about to show you..
Can be seen no other place..
Watch her walk this tightrope in beauty and with grace..
A thousand feet high she'll fool you all
She may slip, but never falls!
In this act, no room for err..
So open your eyes, if you dare..-'
Come on, they're all counting, too
To see if you will make the move
Should you break, they wouldn't wait-
And they'd no longer venerate..
Each step taken with deliberation
The outcome lost in anticipation.

'Skinny' is All She'll Know
I only want to be perfect
But this weight is like a corset on my sanity-
And I can't breathe....
'Silk and satin, and suede and grace-
Of these is a little girl to be made..
And in time we'll break her into the mold,
And 'skinny' is all she'll know....'

Turns to Ice (free verse)
We danced through fields of flowers and dreams. We danced into summers, to eloquent scenes. We skipped through the forests, through thick, foggy days. We danced even as melodies started to fade. You held my hand with sincerity and amenities. As snow fell like ribbons you spoke your indemnity. And your hands turned cold and melted away just as you explained animosity. I shed just a tear, one freezing to ice, as you disappeared and dimmed down the lights. And no pardon was spoken when I had the chance, left instead to a bereavement romance. For that was the day my heart turned cold, left to atrophy beneath my bones. Watching your colors fade like a ghost's under a hallowed sky, at the edge of the woods I died that night.

Ana (Anorexia)
I am....
Falling D..
O..
W..
N........
I need G U I D A N C E.... Ana, H.t.E.a.L.k.P.e. M.E.
Breathe your curse upon me.. Cast your spell.. Whisper me your promises....
K I L L M E....................
softly..
I wish I
didn't need you..
Wish I could belong
to someone more
compassionate.. to
someone whose love
would not hurt me so. But you
are my master.
Oh, Ana. I bow only at your feet.
So take me.... I belong to you.
