Mirrors

I look in
She talks back

I think I look fine
She says I could do better

I know
I'm a star athlete
I'm not fat
I need to eat

Ana makes me believe
I need to work harder
I need to be thinner
Food is the enemy

I look in
She talks back

Work in progress, but I started this piece towards the end of my 6 year battle with anorexia.
