Anna
Her only fear
hides in the fridge
calorie after calorie
of pure evil
Her only salvation
lies in the gym
treadmill after treadmill
of pure bliss
Her only tear
cried in the dark
drop after drop
of pure misery
Her only friend
inside her head
word after word
of pure torment
Her only relief
stares back in the mirror
image after image
of pure disbelief
Her only proof
can be read on the scales
pound after pound
of pure evidence
Her only savior
the thing she fears most
bite after bite
of food
