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

trapped behind this glass
shards of my heart,
piercing my fragile lungs
breathing in and out
gasping for air
I scream but no one can hear me
let me out
wishing my heart was bulletproof
but you shot my heart anyways
and you watched as I bled out
laughing, this was some game
this was all a game to you
you never loved me
