I don't battle,
I dance,
Around and around,
In circles,
Skirting the edge,
Of the sickness,
Of the disease,
I won't fall prey to it,
I will still have the control,
All of the control,
And nothing can change that,
It's not that I don't eat,
I just skip one meal a day,
Maybe two,
But I can control it,
My hunger,
And therefore,
My weight,
I am not the victim,
I am the culprit,
I simply am not hungry,
Don't you see?
I'm perfectly fine,
I don't have the disorder,
And I won't,
I have control,
But isn't that what they all say,
Just before they fall,
Into the darkness,
That consumes them completely,
Isn't that what I said,
When I was still cutting,
I'm in control,
Completely,
Fully,
And I will continue,
Dancing with Ana.
