I Won't Take The Blame

I'm not going to watch you **** yourself.

You're doing this to get attention -- it's obvious.

But I'm not going to stand by and let you do this.

I've tried to talk you out of it, to tell you it's wrong,

that you're wrong, that it isn't helping anyone.

But you won't listen to me.

You refuse to see how I can help you.

So I'm done trying to help.

I refuse to watch you **** yourself by not eating

and lying to everyone about everything

and slicing your skin on purpose

and fasting on a daily basis

and telling me what your plans are for becoming skinnier

and blogging about it to get attention from people who don't even know you

and doing drugs that can **** you.

I'm done with everyone and everything --

I don't need you to torture me by letting me watch my best friend **** herself.

So have fun with that,

have fun being the cause of your own death,

have fun starving to death --

I'm done trying to help you realize there are other ways.
