The Thin Past
Why am I doing this to myself? Why?
To be what? To skinny? To be thin?
Deceiving those loved ones, living a lie.
Feeling pain inside, there can’t be a win.
Once a month, once every week, once a day.
It’s starting to hurt, I feel, oh so weak!
It’s hard to stop this, I think and I lay.
I don’t want to eat, it’s seen in my cheek.
I used to love food. I used to be good.
I take something in, I take something out.
Think! I really need to stop, not I should!
I need to choose a diff’rent better route.
I will conquer it, I will defeat this.
Making it my past, something not to miss.
