I want to finally succeed
I want to have done something with my life
I want to take control of my own destiny
Is that too much to ask?
I just want to be me.
If it just so happens that the person i was meant to be
thinks differently then you
Moves differently then you
See's differently then you
Eats differently then you
Then so be it.
It may not seem normal for you,
But it is for me.
I like waking up at five in the morning and going for runs
I like spending four hours on an elliptical
I like fasting for days
I LOVE the feeling of being empty
Of stepping on the scale and see the number dropping
Of success.
I LOVE the way i live
So why cant you?
Its not hurting me to skip a bit of food
So why does it bother you?
It is after all my life to live
Not yours.
You cant force feed me forever,
So you might as well surrender now
Let me do what makes me feel good and happy and safe
Let me do what makes me a better person
Let me do me.
Because i'd rather die starving and happy then fat and miserable.
