A mirror's gaze a distorted sight
A body warped lost in the night
A hunger gnaws a craving deep
A silent struggle secrets to keep
Each bite a battle a war within
A mind consumed a prisoner's kin.
The scale's harsh judgment a cruel decree
A body punished for what it can't be
A fragile hope a flicker's gleam
A desperate plea a haunting dream
To break the chains to find the light
To heal the wounds and claim the night
