Life With Ana

How are you supposed to tell if you're going insane
How far do I have to shove my fingers down till I throw up my pain
When will we learn that there's absolutely no reason to be scared to gain
Because the only thing you can count on is the 12:00 train
And life gives you lemons you make lemonade
But all you really want in this world is to just fade
Fade behind the glass and sink into the floors
That's what happens when you're too big for the doors
This hurts my throat and my heart and it'll hurt for a while
Wave at the girl with the toothless smile
Now you understand because you're drowning helplessly
How could it take you this long to see
You're in a hole you can't get out of and it's filling up fast
Wishing you knew what normal was when it could last
Because for once holding your breath is not the key
And you know you'll die wishing "Why do I have to be me"
But no one cares because they can't look up from there phones
And you're happy because finally you'll be bones

I wrote this about my disorder. My hope is that other girls will read it and learn form it and get help so that they for have to suffer in silence any longer.
