Starving for Death

by *The Devil Hides Within*   Jan 28, 2006


My parents yell its time to eat
yet you dont see me jumping to my feet
I look at myself and frown in dismay
My parents want me to eat and I disobey
I never want to eat a meal
This helps me cope with how I feel
About myself I cry and shout
I realize I need to run, work out
I lose the pounds yet still no smile
I throw my lunch in the never ending pile
My friends say they worry but I say too much
My hair begins to fall out at a simple touch
I realize its over and try to eat
But Im so weak I can get to my feet
I suddenly see an angel before my eyes
She alone has no definite size
She tells me I have one more try
I wake up and begin to cry
My parents ask \"what did I do wrong\"
I simply turn up my sad country song
I dont want to admit that Ive been beat
I dont want to admit that I have to eat
All my life Ive been starving for death and all the rest
And now I realize its not the best
My end will soon come if I dont get the fact
The curtains will close with my life the final act
