I met this girl named Buli Mia,
She’s so thin and skinny.
She took my hand and told me
She’d help make me pretty.

I love my new friend Mia,
She’s helped me lose so much weight.
No one knows how I lost it
Because I still eat all the food off my plate.

I’m mad at my friend Mia,
She’s still so perfect.
She tells me to throw up more,
She says it’s for my own benefit.

I’m scared of the girl named Mia,
She’s not my friend anymore.
She still thinks I’m not skinny enough,
Even though I’m half the size I was before.

I hate the girl named Mia,
She says I’m still too fat.
My thighs still have some meat on them,
She says she can fix that.

I’m wanted dead by a girl named Mia,
My ribs are poking out.
I’m still not thin enough though,
As if there’s any doubt.

I was murdered by a girl named Mia,
My health and my life she enjoyed to steal.
Now that I’m gone, I just wish I’d known,
Skinny wasn’t that big of a deal.


The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this piece by a girl I know who suffered from bulimia, and really struggled to overcome it. In this piece, I portrayed "Mia" as bulimia in the form of a girl. I hope this is enjoyable for people and really sheds a light on bulimia.
