The girl in my mirror (Anorexia)

by MeganLeigh   Jun 15, 2009


I look in the mirror and what do I see?
The tear-stained face of my enemy.
She cries because I cry, but inside she's glad
To see me broken, to see me sad.

When I grab a meal and start to eat
She quiets down and acts real sweet,
But when I'm done she yells at me
Telling me how fat I'm going to be.

I feel like I never want to eat again
Until that familiar hunger kicks in,
So I eat some more, just a little bit
Then her angry voice makes me feel like ****.

"Do you know what you've done?!" she screams in my ear
"After all of that weight that we lost last year??
You just had to **** it up! Now you look like a cow
How will you ever make up for that now?!"

I apologize and hang my head
To a series of insults that were never said,
By an imaginary girl who I most fear
The girl that lies inside my mirror.

<Sorry for the bleeped out words. I couldn't say them in the regular section and I didn't want to put it in the explicit section just because of 2 words.>
