Because of you,
I can never leave you
Now, with me, you’ll never be alone
What is so harmful?
I am not harmful
Help?
Who said you need help
Vital functions?
What functions are vital?
Control is what you need
The need to control is so strong in you
Then again me is you and you is me
Hope or depression?
Hope will bring you back up to a fatter weight
Depression will leave you skinny
What will you choose?
Since you are me
We will choose depression
Who am I talking in your head
I am you
But if you want specifics…
I am anorexia, anorexia nervosa
You may think you chose me but really
I choose you
Your want to be thin was so strong that I could not resist
Your fear of gaining weight was so strong
I just made it stronger
Physical activity is all you will do
Just to keep that weight under 100
Calories is what you will stay away from
Just to keep that weight under 100
You will go in a fad diet
Just so your weight will stay under 100
You are not under weight
Your just skinner than all the rest
They are all at a healthy weight but
just think about it this way,
You are skinnier than them
Which just makes it all the better
If you want to stay skinny
You’ll stick with me
to be
Forever skinny
You chose me
I am now with you always
I’ll never leave
Author notes
About being trapped in anorexia. It in a way is captivity and being trapped and not able to get away.
