Food is for the hungry
but I'm hallow inside
You cannot feed
those who will not eat,
but I promise you I've tried

A scale is for the heavy
and I'm gluttonous within
I shed the weight
by scraping the plate
into the garbage bin

The hunger pains are sweet,
I'm unsteady on my feet
but the voice is on repeat
as I waste away, waste away

Food is for the weak,
see the havoc it can wreak,
blurry eyes begin to leak
as I waste away, waste away
