There's no point in trying to hide it

So I'll explain slowly bit by bit

I'm not anorexic, I'm sure I'm not

A while back that's what I thought

You see when you're a girl like me

The perfect example for all to see

Intelligent, polite, the kind little girl you met

But no, one knew that girls secret

I don't want to eat, let's get it straight

I'm full of joy to you and to myself its hate

So there's no point in saying I'll look sick and scraggy

I just want my skinny jeans to be baggy

I want to be like the girls on TV

Dreaming like them someday I will be

Thin and beautiful the perfect combination

But now I've told you there'll be some complication

It's not an illness it's a lifestyle

Like people in towns and animals in the wild

I still drink, breath and walk

Just because I don't eat don't mean I don't talk

So as this poem comes to an end

All broken hearts and feelings we can mend

But to sum it up before I go

I'm anorexic, Thought you should know.
