A Losing Battle (Ana)

by Jenni Marie   Jan 11, 2009


Back whispering in my head, mumbling harshly in my ear
Trying so hard to ignore you but more difficult every day
Seems everytime I think you've left you're somewhere near
Constantly repeating that it's you I need to always obey

Brittle nails, sullen eyes, regular crippling hunger pains
Hair getting a shine back, now becoming flat once more
Are you happy that you're slowly driving me insane
Now wondering just what it is that I'm fighting you for

Each and every time swallow food, left only with disgust
Drained; run down all the time, whole body sore and aching
Used to think we were friends, how can you be so unjust
All this secret exercise leaving me constantly shaking

How can you be my worst enemy yet also my best friend
Wanting you around, yet always wishing that you'd leave
How I let this go so far is something I just can't comprehend
Destroying me, yet without you near finding it difficult to breathe
