Many beings, one body
United, and yet discordant
Limbo, sometimes nobody in charge
Trying to imitate one 'person'
Imposter? No. Just another mind
Possible? Yes. Many minds in one body
Living with company, constantly
I enjoy the companionship
Cut off from the world, my own reality
Isolated? No. I still have friends
Troubled? No. I'm happy with my head
You won't change us, we're not a disorder.

Always scares of food
Nowhere to run
One thing on your mind- weight
Running from your warped reality
Exercising, burning non existent fat
X rays would show a skeleton
I can already see one, but-
Anorexia, it takes over.
[C] Alice Daley
Writer's block
Gets you nowhere
When you think
And nothing comes
Some say
Don't force it
But when
The poetry's gone
What's left
Is what you say
Because that's real
That's your core
Forget verses
Forget structure
Forget rhyming
Just write
How you feel
In broken words
Fragmented
Sentences
Because underneath
You're only
A human being
Just like me.

She's a funny girl, all tears and drama,
She strops around, an overgrown teen,
Everything is the end of the world.
She's a lier and a manipulater,
But I wonder, and I pity her,
Because she doesn't understand,
From a point of perspective,
Where her own actions lead her,
And maybe she never will.

They don't know me here
An opportunity to reinvent myself
But how to change an identity
Without losing my integrity?
I am who I am
I cannot be anyone else
And why should I?
But they don't know me here
I'm free from my past here
There are no explanations
No boundaries.
But I want to be myself
Nobody else will do
So maybe they'll accept me.
[C] Alice Daley
