Dear Anorexia, You are my best friend, and my worst enemy…
“Dear Anorexia, You are my best friend, and my worst enemy at the same time You are my greatest achievement, and yet my most devastating crime You make me hate myself, and feel like Im never enough You have made me so weak, and unable to cope with life when its tough Because of you I have lost myself, and any hope of having a real dream Now all I dream of is being Thin and Perfect, until I just want to scream Yet I still can not fathom who I would be without you, Even through all the venom you spew, And all the things you make me do Everyday is a new struggle, awaking ready to fight another war Because of you I am lost, Because of you I dont know who I am anymore. Dear Anorexia Why did you choose me?”
