They feed me more and more
When I refuse to eat
They think I’m starving myself
But I’m not
I’m just not hungry
Is that such a problem?

They yell at me
When I fail to do something correctly
They think I’m rebelling
But I’m not
It was just an accident
Is that such a problem?

They call me names
When I stand up for myself
They think I want control
But I don’t
I just shouldn’t have to take all of that
Is that such a problem?

They make me do things
When I lay around
They think I’m lazy
But I’m not
I just can’t ever sleep at night
Is that such a problem?

I know I don’t eat as much as I should
I know I make mistakes
I know I’m not perfect
I know I could do more

But I’m not hungry
But it was an accident
But I shouldn’t have to take all of that
But I can’t ever sleep

I know I am such a problem
And I’m sorry…
