I have a family inside my head
I am sad to say they get along
I have an older sister named anorexia.
she gives me fashion advice
she tells me I need to become skinnier to become prettier
and in order to do this I am not aloud to eat
she screams at me if I do
I have another sister named bullimia
they get along to well
if i eat she makes me throw it up
and they both show me pictures of how skinny i need to be
I have a brother named depression
he is the downer of the family
he makes everyone feel empty
and he takes my motivation and energy away
he has an enemy though
his enemy's name is anxiety
anxiety get's everyone hyped up
Anxiety gets everyone to get along and think of any number of scenarios
then makes me panic over them
anxiety is known for sitting on my lungs
leaving me struggling to breathe
insomnia is the last piece of the puzzle
he ensures that I can't escape
I can't tune my family out
Why won't he just let me sleep?
This is my family
They exist in my head
and they won't leave me alone
