Love
Eat
Is that the lowest moment?
When you don't dare to wear shorts because of the scars that cover your legs.
And then you're sitting there at the dinner table with your family,
And they keep on telling you to eat,
But all you mutter is "I'm not hungry",
When you actually are.
You're starving but your image is worth more than a meal.
You eat a few bites just to shut them up,
And then run to the bathroom to rid yourself of it,
To make sure you can fit into those jeans,
The ones that could stand you losing another 5 pounds.
You get used to the lies of:
"I'm not hungry"
"I ate before I came"
And "oh yeah I'm fine, just tired".
Is that your lowest point,
When the only food you're feeding yourself is lies?

Unable to find peace of mind
Can't even close my eyes
Haunted by nightmares of all kinds
Because of the place in which I lie

Forever scarred by the past
Branded with the reminder
Of days that go too fast
And the nights where I find her

Every day a slow torture
Leaving me to pretend
Always having to endure
A forever that meets no end

Hiding the pain that eats away
Deep into my heart and soul
Waiting for the day
That my mind loses all control

— The End —
