    I had an eating disorder( anorexia). I'm getting better now. My friends never noticed until one of them grabbed me by the wrist. They only felt bone and a thin layer of skin. I'm now getting help

    As someone with multiple chronic health issues, this really resonated with me. It was powerful and gut wrenching at the same time. Thank you.

      @Luna Cross Thank you! I'm actually glad you said that because I picked up a poem prompt book a few days ago. It's just the fact that I'm 12 and I dont know if there's any poetry groups near me. But thanks you! I'll look into it
