I have a story to tell you
everybody, gather around
this girl you find so perfect
found her perfection in the ground
When I found the shining beauty
in every which way
Though I knew she was a thief
To Anna, I gave my heart away
[Dear Anna]
You told me that you loved me
and you made my heartbeat race
You helped me through the bad times
You made the blood fly through my veins
But you gave me no butterflies
just a ball and a chain
all you did was make me a prisoner
And I stood through all this pain
because you said you'd love me
until the very end
you promised I'd be perfect
and we would be the best of friends
So how could I say no
to words from a mouth like this
Beauty was all I wanted
Beauty would give me bliss
but I now know you're just a joke
you don't know the back of your own hand
So stop telling me where to go
And don't tell me you don't understand
Because deep down, I could always tell
I just never really tried
But now, I've collapsed your house
and my body is once again mine
This is the last verse of your last song
Good-bye to you, and the curse you bestowed
Always I'll remember, though you'll forget me
Good-bye Anna, it's been a long road indeed.
Author notes
There are some good lines in this, but I just kinda wrote this on the spot.. I think I'll end up redoing it some time... I just had to write about my eating disorder right now, because I think I'm finally ready to stop. 4 years is too long.
Alternative title: The Long Road
What did you get from this?

Great
I am so happy you are ready to stop. I can't stop mine because of the industry I am in. I am in modeling and pageants and they all have to do with what size you are. I am so happy for you.
