Praise Anna
Praise Mia
Shackle me up
Please
Please
Rob me
Rob me of
My innocence
My childhood
Fill me with lies
Make me believe
I'm unloveable
Because of my size
I kneel before you
Spoon down my throat
Trying to throw up
These crumbs
I forced down
Keep me
Keep me
As prisoner
Hand me the pills
The knife
The gun
Anything
So I can die
Young and
Beautiful
Because beauty is life
I don't want to grow old
If it means
Ugly and grey
Teach me
Teach me
Food is the enemy
And you
Are my friend
My best friend
My only friend
And you won't let me
Down
Let me cling to you
Adrift
All alone
In your sea
Of broken promises
And crushed dreams
Make me see fat
When others see bone
Let me get lost
In you
So I won't face
Reality
I'm 90 pounds
Skin and bones
Close to death
A hospital bed
Tube down my throat
Pumping fat
Into my stomach
Rehab telling me
I'm beautiful
I'm strong
Trying to wake me up
Break your chains
Free me
From your embrace
Oh dear
Anna
Mia
You do a marvelous job
Claiming lives
Ripping apart
Families
Stealing joy
Trapping people
With your silkily smile
Convincing them
To throw everything
Away
For beauty
