the voice tells me i am
worthless
irrelevant
ugly
fat
stupid

some days i block out the voice
and i am happy
but some days i listen
i cry
i believe what the voice tells me
and i am sad

and each day
the voice gets louder
and stronger
the voice tells me to starve
to exercise
to purge
i listen
i obey

when i feel brave
i will rebel against the voice
i eat
and eat
and eat
and eat
until i am numb
unitil i do not hear the voice anymore

i feel free
out of control
the voice comes back now
the voice tells me
to stop
to purge
because i am fat
too fat

i want
to get rid of the voice
so badly

i want to be free

i want to be normal

help
me
