the monster inside of me
It tells me I can't eat
It tells me to throw up what I do eat
It tells me I'm not good enough
It tells me I need to do 700 crunches a day
It bells me I'll never be skinny
It tells me I can't gain weight
It tells me I'm a fat pig
It makes me feel like I'm constantly gaining weight
On the outside I'm happy
I'm the girl that's losing weight
The girl that turned her life around
The voice won't let me see that
The voice tells me to starve
The voice tells me to throw up my food
The voice tells me to constantly workout
If I don't do what it says the voice attacks me
The voice whips me into submission
The voice stabs me in the heart
The voice breaks me down
I will never be good enough
I will never reach my goals
I will never be skinny enough
The voice makes me cry
The voice whispers to me constantly
The voice is always in my head
I know I'm not perfect
But I know this is all a lie
But the voice convinces me its not
The voice, the monster inside of me
