A Losing 'Fit'
You have no idea
 About when you fear all food
 Hunger is beauty
 
 When full you feel fat
 Eating is the enemy
 She will dissuade you
 
 She's always with you
 Yelling you can't do enough
 You need to eat less
 
 Soon some becomes none
 And your weight just keeps falling
 Still it's not enough
 
 Trying for perfect
 Family begins to notice
 They tell you to stop
 
 But stop you cannot
 Ana is still in control
 Draining you of life
 
 Skinny is okay
 But skin and bones is perfect
 Ana only laughs
 
 Was she worth the pain?
 Is perfect really worth it?
 Ana calls again
 
 Brings you to your knees
 You're just so huge and useless
 In truth there's no fat
 
 Your family freaks out
 When your body hits the floor
 Call for help they yell
 
 Get her a doctor
 Someone has to hold the cure
 They all rush around
 
 You fall in and out
 From troubled dream to nightmare
 It all fades away
 
 Was it all worth it
 All the pain and suffering
 Dying for beauty.
