Everyday she laughs, walks, and talks.
Her friends just see her as a walking Barbie doll.
If she wasn't lucky, or smart, she never would've got caught
What a truly dumb blonde she was, but I knew. I have always known
She counts her calories at lunch, hoping no one notices.
"I think that they put too much ranch on this salad" she thinks out loud as she pushes it away
But I was watching (and I'm impressed), she purposely put too much ranch on her own salad.
She let herself starve for the rest of the day
Tragic really, poor Joey was really hungry and just happened to notice her
Bones and fat
He notice the struggle- no battle - going on inside her head.
Who am I?
Why I'm the person who is always watching!
Now to some I am known as a disease
To others I am known as a killer
But to those who are most important
Those who can handle my, much needed, tough love
Those who strive to do what I say
To live by my rules
I am know as a Savior
I am known as Ana.
I really like it.
The little nickname they picked out for me
I'm sure they hate to love me, yet love to hate me
But hey, don't we all have that person?
I lurk in the shadows, growing skinnier, yet stronger, each day.
Self restraint and strength is what I demand
That "Barbie" girl is going to drop 20 more pounds
The jock pushing himself, thinking "I can only succeed if I am stronger"-but between you and me
That's more of my sister Mia's work
I watch and help at night, she shows up occasionally
We coax you back into the safety of being skinny
Your thighs touch
Your stomach jiggles when you walk
I can't see your hip bones
Don't stop till your ribs and collarbones show
If that means throwing up do it
If that means exercising till you pass out do it
If that means skipping meals do it
If that means you have to do all of these things do it
You know me more than you'd like to
I will come and invade your life, making every decision for you
You'll thank me later when you finally die from my deadly disease
Anorexia and Bulimia do kill those who fall victim to them
But at least you're skinny by the end of it!

PoetryHey guys, this is just kinda what's on my mind. Names in here don't refer to the actual person I'm talking about. I will put a trigger warning out there now, and probably again before each poem.
