Oh Ana, I'm sorry

It’s hard to fight that

little teeny tiny voice

that softly whispers,

“Starve..”

and when I do fight it,

she ceases to whisper,

now yelling,

frantically screaming,

shouting through

her tears,

“STARVE!”

 

When I eat it’s like I’m,

hurting her,

killing her.

I feel guilty,

although

she is nasty,

mean,

with never a kind word

to share with me,

unless I listen to her.

Oh how she tempts me,

pretending to befriend me..

complimenting me

while I fight those

hunger pains,

she keeps me

going…

 

Yet I know I

have to end

our disastrous friendship.

Friend?

She is an,

enemy.

 

Ah but sometimes,

in the secrecy of my

own fragile mind,

I let her words,

linger…

I push her away,

and she crawls

back to me.

I wish she would

just… leave me be.

 

Oh Ana,

I’m sorry,

I cannot be friends,

anymore.

For those of you who may be curious, Ana is the personification that many use for Anorexia.
