[trigger warning: themes of disordered eating. this is NOT in any way, shape or form meant to be "pro ana", i simply made this when i was in a bad place. this is not meant to glamorize or normalize eating disorders.]

["ana" is often used as a representation of "anorexia", but in this poem it is meant to represent the voice in my head that fueled my disordered eating patterns.]


ana is an angel

delicate and strong

she shows me all the darkest lights

so why did it go wrong?


everyday i'm cowering

hiding from all this weight

that's when ana stepped right in

and that's when i took the bait.


her scent is just like strawberries

and rotting skin

so disgusting so delicious

i can't help but breathe her in.


addicted to this craving

i can't help wanting more

her dark embrace, my stone-cold face

til' i'm empty to the core.


my life my soul they feel so light

i'd rather die than stop tonight.

i know i played into her hands as a fool,

and i know i'm just a tool.


addicted to this pain,

i just can't help wanting more.


i know it's not healthy, it's been engraved into my skull..

...but i'll gorge myself on skinny til' i'm full.


euphoria

dispose of this

that's what "ana" says

i just want to be free of you

please get out of my head.


my body my life

i feel so light

i'd rather die than starve tonight.

i'll fall into abyss like a "good girl" might -


one for all,

all for nothing,

god please take my life.
