Favorite Quote:
"Some infinities are bigger than other infinities."-John Green (The fault in our stars)


When I look in the mirror,
They tell me the person I see isn't me,
They tell me I don't know any better,
They tell me my eyes lie,
But my eyes have a mind,
and I see through their lies

They keep my voice quiet,
They think they have me fooled,
But I'm the one fooling them,
If my mind was as loud as it is in my head,
They would know,
If my mind was as quiet as it is to them,
I would be able to stop

My mind tells me to keep going,
Even if I beg it to stop,
I slowly become smaller,
I have less and less control

They don't know how bad it hurts
They don't know I can't stop
Do they even really care
"You're beautiful, You're already skinny"
Their sugary lies are not enough to bring back the person I was
