It's hard to be happy when there's a voice screaming in your head that you're not good enough
------
Little girl with torn up arm,
Your heart can't take any more harm,
Night after night awake you lie,
You're the one who wants to die,
Little girl with pale face,
Bloodshot eyes and broken pace,
bent over a toilet bowl,
Your choked up sobs a futile howl.
Little girl with fragile bones,
Been thrown around like sticks and stones,
Every meal you deny,
Ana wants you to whisper goodbye.
Little girl who has been shunned
For a need too strong to be shut down
Despite your attempts to give it up
Your hands can't seem to put down that calorie filled cup
Little girl with little friends
On the fake ones you depend
Soothing voices talk you to sleep
Or for you to slice your skin deep
Little girl with an angry frown
Your wide eyes a softening brown
Then a smile graces your lips
Your attitude changing like golden eclipse
Little girl with a very cold heart
Your carelessness is not an art
Despite their disapproving glare
Your need to love is barely rare
Little girl who has lost her path
To whom everyone directs their wrath
Just close your eyes for a minute too long
I assure you, your feelings aren't wrong.

Mental illnesses mention here in case anyone is confused: Depression, bulimia, anorexia, binge eating, schizophrenia, bipolarity and sociopathy. Because most of the time we don't pay attention to disorders other than the ones commonly talked about
