I've been good

For about a month now

Eating what I want

Supressing the voice

Telling me not to eat

And weigh myself

I don't know why

But I give in

To the voices

Go on, dear

Step on the scale

Lets see how were doing

With shaky hands 

I grab the counter

And climb on

The cold metal beneath my warm feet

I gasp

The number went up

Stepping off the scale

I run

Fighting tears

Head in hands

Fighting voices

Ugly voices

You've failed us

You've failed yourself

You're fat

Worthless

Ugly

All the memories of people

Telling me I'm fat

Ugly

Not good enough

A bitch

It's taunting me

Haunting me

Hurting me

I want to scream

The voices sneer 

Nobody loves you

We will not stop

Till the number is down

Way Down
