When , why , how they leave

In the corner, sitting on the kitchen counter is depression. Beside the depression is anorexia bones. Sitting at the table with pills in hand and crying is anxiety. In the refrigerator is bulimia, something like choking on vomit food before, and self-injury-cuts-whispering, urging her to cut, and the teenager falling in all of them, look at his face, it’s like a mixture of all disorders. The eyes and the smiles of self-injury, depression and anorexia are scary, are as creepy.
