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.
