Food has power over me Trying so hard to be who they want me to be. Eating just enough to stay alive, Throwing up food to survive. Survive i my sick mind, Mind that left the will to live behind. Fighting myself every day, Making sure to check how much I weigh. Numbers rule my mind every second of the day, Convincing me more and more that I don’t want to stay. Stay I a world ruled by food, Throwing up anything that needs to be chewed. People comment how fat I look, Now I’m not but you have no idea what it took. Wishing I could just eat what I want, Wishing to stop the thoughts of food that haunt. Haunt me every second I am awake, My life is at stake. Bulimia took the happy me, Turned me into someone I never wanted to be. Pretending just please everyone around, Doesn’t matter you are crying on the ground.
