This loneliness drives me insane. It traps me under the covers of my cold bed. It forces tasteless food out of my stomach. It lets my rib cage show and dark circles under my eyes appear. It forces tears out of my eyes. I can’t feel the liquid fall down my face, but I can see droplets of water dot my blankets and unfeeling skin. When will I wake up?

That's when I decided to starve myself, force myself to look like the girls in the magazines. Who knew all I was doing was slowly killing myself? Life likes to play games, except my game is called Ana and I don't think I will survive. (unedited) Cover by: MadHatter_25Complete
