Ugly

Fat

Worthless

Nobody loves you 

Nobody gives a care

And you would like do to something about it, but

Really, would you dare? 

There's a little voice in my head that echoes on and on, every second of my life. She haunts my sleep and governs my actions. I'm not in control anymore, she is. Every time I look into the mirror, she alters what I see. 

Twisting

Turning

I see a distortion. I see a small, skinny girl who is almost pretty. 

But it's only her. 

I know it's not me. After all, it can't be. I know I am ugly and fat. I know I'm not pretty. She told me so. She tells me all of their thoughts. Everyone I walk past during the day. 

She's so fat. 

Ew, look at that girl. 

She looks like shit. 

For a long time I didn't believe her, but now I do. 

But even though I know how ugly I am, I want to prove her wrong. 

I'll starve myself to skinny. 

I'll cut until I'm cute. 

I'll die until the angels sing. 

I'll show Anna everything.
