Constant cold becomes comforting Even when you know it's because Your body is dying Hunger pains make you smile In fact They become glamorized in your mind Tea is good But when it fills your stomach with 0 calorie goodness It tastes great Standing up always makes you dizzy So instead of eating You learn how to keep walking even when walls turn into floors You beg for help From someone who is just as sick as you To become more successfully sick Meals turn into binges Food is just a number And so are you You constantly think about If the way you are sitting makes you look Even worse than normal Words like dainty, starved, light Make you feel More powerful than gods There are nightmares where All you do Is eat ******* fries When even the people you love the most Become annoying Because of how often they say you're perfect The saying "You're not fat, but, you're not skinny." Becomes your most hated string of language When you know exactly what the risks are You repeat them in your mind everyday But it just doesn't matter anymore You have already accepted your death Because it's either get skinny Or die trying

How You Know You're Sick
Constant cold becomes comforting Even when you know it's because Your body is dying Hunger pains make you smile In fact They become glamorized in your mind Tea is good But when it fills your stomach with 0 calorie goodness It tastes great Standing up always makes you dizzy So instead of eating You learn how to keep walking even when walls turn into floors You beg for help From someone who is just as sick as you To become more successfully sick Meals turn into binges Food is just a number And so are you You constantly think about If the way you are sitting makes you look Even worse than normal Words like dainty, starved, light Make you feel More powerful than gods There are nightmares where All you do Is eat ******* fries When even the people you love the most Become annoying Because of how often they say you're perfect The saying "You're not fat, but, you're not skinny." Becomes your most hated string of language When you know exactly what the risks are You repeat them in your mind everyday But it just doesn't matter anymore You have already accepted your death Because it's either get skinny Or die trying
