Ana

by alainacaruso

the whispers in my ears are my deepest darkest fears she yells but soothes always with bad news "you gained since yesterday" every morning i hear her say she forces me to stop but i'm hungry, i cannot she makes me feel like failure because failure is her enabler it's what she uses for her case whenever i make mistakes didn't count right the calories so she makes me suffer tremendously Ana makes me believe i don't know if she'll ever leave her voice is soft but strong always stringing me along

<p>I was just looking at random poems near me on the poem map and stumbled upon this one. Kind of crazy actually because I wrote this and completely forgot about it. While I was reading it, I could feel her struggle. It's all too real. Thank you for the nice comment :)</p>
