I've realised a key thing
That I never knew before
Fake smiles
Will never be real
They're a fake comfort
A pretence to be strong
Over pain and sadness
Which comes in huge waves
That washed me over
Drowned me
Leaving me barely
Alive
I was never good enough
With depression flooding over me
And Anorexia pulling at my strings
Until they were cut
I was trapped
And couldn't stop
I thought
It would last forever
This crazy dream
To be the skinniest of all
Lighter than air
What was I thinking
I might have been afraid to go back
To the girl I was
But now I am proud
And want to be her, once again
And the most important thing is
That I came to remember
And realise
The only person who could save me
Was myself.
