Lure
They whisper in my ear
Preying on a fear
A fear of not measuring up.
Listen to me, they say
Your failures will go away
You'll be special and exalted
They tell me I'll be amazing,
better than my peers
For restriction is an achievement
Regardless of the tears
Hunger is control
Control is the answer
Nobody understands you anyways,
Listen to the internal master
Remember how you hated yourself?
Despised your reflection in the mirror?
At least when you were sad
Your "perfect body" brought you cheer.
Yet despite these promising phrases
I know the impending hazes
So I will fight this easy path
And free myself from this wrath
For I am special in my own right
because I have something to give
I can help others
I choose to live
