Anorexia

"Come with me," she said.
"I'm Ana. I'll be your friend."
Little did I know
She was leading me to my 
death bed.

I wish I would've never met 
her.
I wish she would disappear.
Why won't she leave me alone?
Doesn't she see I'm happy 
here?

"You won't be happy until 
you're skinny," she said.
I don't know how much longer I 
can take this self-hate.
It's eating me from the inside.
It's making me fake.

Why aren't my friends here?
Where'd they go?
Did I push them away?
What did I do?

I'm scared to be alone with 
myself.
What if I lost it?
Will I end up killing myself just 
to get rid of her?
How much more insane can I 
get?
