WASTED: BY MARYA HORNBACHER

   Wasted is a book of memories about a girl named Marya Hornbacher and how she overcame her sickness of being bulimic. Last time I did a blog post a wrote it in poem form. I found this very fun, quick, and easy to do, so I will do it again. One big poem about topics that have affect Marya's life into becoming bulimic. 

Marya
Close
    Family is supposed to be close
    You breath the same air as them
    But sometimes you have to fight
    For fresh air
    Family is supposed to close
    You share the same space as them
    But sometimes you fight
    Because you want your own
Love
    Your family is supposed to love
    You no matter what
    Your family is not supposed
    To judge you no mater what
    Marya, she didn't have a
    Family like mine
    There was no love
Happiness
    Is when the sunshine dances in your 
    Hair
    Is when snow falls on you eylashes
    Is when you feel loved
    And cared for
    Is when you have a moment
    Where you don't care about
    Anything
    You just are peaceful
    You are happy
    Marya used to be happy
    But she not any more
Image
    Is what people see with their eyes
    Not with their hearts
    Image is pretty
    Image is everything to Marya
    Her imagination image
    Can destroy you 
    Can hurt you
    Image can be nice
    But to much image 
    Can kill you
