Months go by and I start to notice 

My arms grow bigger and my belly so bloated 

My standards start to go higher and higher 

People with compliments just seem like liars 

I eat less and less, just be depressed 

Purge that out before you digest

Take note of all the calories 

Put all those numbers in your diary 

You feeling hungry? Then chew some gum 

To this you know you will succumb 

Just hide that depression and hide all your thoughts

Give hunger and purging a little shot 

See how good you will feel 

When your waist start to thin 

You can skip every meal, your hunger, just conceal 

Just stop when you see you're all bone and skin


Don't stop. Don't stop. Don't stop.
Don't stop. Don't stop. Don't stop.
Don't stop. Don't stop. Don't stop.
Don't stop.Don't stop. JUST STOP. 


Why am I like this? My mind can't accept this

body that I have isn't as pretty as the rest of them 

Why can't I just love myself? Why is it so hard 

to talk to people, I don't want them to feel off guard

My problems are so petty, 

Depression isn't pretty,

as I start to develop major problems that are deadly 

I can't really stop this, someone please come up and help me

My mind and heart and body and state is very very messy.
