Ana(Anorexia)

I look up at my white washed celing... tiles blurring together...
becoming so light headed...
I'll just close my eyes for a second...
a minute,
an hour,
Dream,
Dreaming
of a little girl,
spinning in circles,
pale,clear skin,
bones clearly seen,
tears roll down my face,
she stops and smiles,
what is wrong? she asks.
You are so beautiful. I say.
You will be too. she replys.
When? I ask.
When you idolize me over everything...
when you dine with me, an empty plate
and a cup of tea for the each of us,
when people describe you as a walking skeleton,
when people wonder where the old you has gone...
My name is Ana...
I will steal your soul from you...

I myself struggle from an eating disorder. I would like people to know to ask for help if they have one. I know it is hard but its also really hard to deal with it on your own and can impact your emotional and physical health greatly.
