Ana was beautiful
Perfect, and thin
I longed to be like her
And she took me under her wing
We stood in the mirror
We compared tummies and toes
And the longer I looked
The more beautiful she became
Six months and five days
Since first meeting Ana
Every morning she grabs my stomach
And every night she pinches my thighs
And with every calorie screams
Punishes me
"They will never love you
You're only creating a pig"
One year and seven days
Since first meeting Ana
She says she's proud of me
That I'm almost beautiful
We stand in the mirror
And compare tummies and toes
And the longer I looked
The more like Ana I became
