Two sides of the same mind

 Trying to marry two half’s of my mind

One half is angry and the other is tired

One half screams loudly and shouts and is strong

The other urges and pleads me to stop. 

One half is vindictive, brutal and harsh

It twists things and blurs things and makes me feel lost

The other side is weaker, though I know it’s words are truer 

The other side begs me, please fiona, anorexia is trying to kill you. 


Anorexia tells me I’m better now

That this nutrition I don’t need

Anorexia tells me to push people away

To resent them

Lose myself further in the abyss. 


The quiet rational side of me begs me to hear

The doctors that tell me my bloods still hold fear

That to catch an infection right now would be dangerous 

And that bm’s that drop every hour makes them nervous

That I need ECG’s because they fear my heart crashing

That I need to be careful right now, my body is lacking. 


The quiet voice of fiona sings softly throughout the day

Attempting to fragment the anger anorexia displays 

To try to make through the torment and worry

In hope that one day, I will be free from this bully. 

But it’s hard when two sides feel so opposing

When both feel so real

And so imposing.
