the scale mimics me
every morning I wake
the pounds I shed
only show my lack of self control
control is what I crave
my weight drops like flies
but so does my self confidence
fasting for days on end
fighting my way to the top
in a scandalous war against my body
not realizing what I'm doing
purging each bite of food I eat
exercising 'till I see stars
my hair starts to break off
the end is not far
stomach constantly growling
staying up 'till 3
diet pills stuffed in my pockets
this disorder will be the end of me
A memoir of when I used to battle an eating disorder called EDNOS.
