Dear Ana, 

Your hands gripping my neck, 

restricting all of my breath,

Ana, stop suffocating me. 

You take and take and take,

you take and break 10,000 lives each year.

Ana, stop pulling my hair,

strands become chunks that plummet to the ground.

The overwhelming sound of your sobs and screams, 

I will not accept defeat. 

Your tyranny makes my whole world cold. 

Goosebumps all over my body,

teeth grinding together,

I despise the frigid weather. 

But more than that I loathe you. 

Rasping lub lub duuuubb in my heart,

I yearn for the lub dub lub dub lub dub.

Ana, stop feeding me lies,

I need to stop shrinking my thighs.

I've lost all my energy,

all my joy, 

who I am. 

But Ana, 

I don't know how to live without you.
