My Friend Ana

She has Ana staying over again You don't like her at all but she's her friend Ana brought some pills for her to try She tells you not to look they'll make you want to cry She says Ana told me not to eat today Don't argue with me I don't care what you have to say And she's yelling at you for no reason at all But she can't help it she just feels so small When she looks in the mirror She dies a little more inside She hangs her head And asks God to tell her why Now she looks at you with tears in her eyes Tell her she's beautiful She hangs pictures of Ana on the wall She says she'll get there even if she has to crawl The secrets inside are hers to keep She no longer lets you hold her as she sleeps One day She says baby come and sit with me while I pray One day I hope I'll never have to feel this way
