My stomach used to scream,
when i refused to eat.
Now i guess it's used
to the denial of meat.
The number on the scale
weighing down my soul.
Brainwashing me
into thinking I am full.
Telling me I'm fat,
when I look in the mirror.
Not being good enough,
the ever growing fear.
How can I ever be
with expectations so high?
Losing water weight
with my constant inner cry.
Become a walking corpse.
Blank mind, pale face.
Feeling so massive
in the too little space.
Won't allow help.
Don't want a hero.
So when does it end?
when the number reaches zero?
