A burning desire
an intense need
the pressure to be perfect
is louder than it seems
I suffer in silence
'till it's all too much
by body is shattered
at the simplest touch
unhealthy lifestyle
yet i cant change
not do i want to
the reason i binge
everything hurts
but you will never see
there's a smile on my face
as it takes over me
