"The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do." -Unknown


I wonder what's going on inside your head,
You're still alive when you're looking so dead,
Do you ever wonder when you're lying in your bed
What wrong turn you took, how you've been led?

Your ribs are showing through your skin,
Your knees are shaking, caving in,
If you had to survive, you wouldn't win
The fight.
Bu it's alright,
And it's okay,
Cuz all the time you know just how much you weigh,
And you lived to see another day,
So it's okay.

This is about eating disorders, particularly anorexia and bulimia. I think the poem says all I have to say on the matter.
