Demons Like Mine

Maybe if people knew

How many times

I've been called fat

And not just by them,

They'll stop.

Or if they knew how many

times it has rang through

my head, and awakened the demons

I try so hard to keep

Asleep,

They'll stop.

Or if they knew how many

days I've starved myself,

or how many times I dry heave.

But no, they'll never stop

Cause they'll never know,

And they'll never hear

Demons like mine.

Because they will always be

Perfect the way my demons say

I'll never be.
