A tear rolls down your face
As you look at me in disgrace
I look at the plate in front of me
Full of food I may never eat
Please you say
The word rushing down your face
Please eat
My brain tells me no
It says you can’t eat this food
And it’s not because I’m full
But because when I do eat
I’ll turn into a monster
Someone you’ve never known
Someone you’d never want to know
You say it again please eat
Why won’t you eat
You’re perfect
But I don’t see what you see
You won’t want to see what I turn into
I hate mirrors
Because they show me
A part of me I don’t want to see
I hate scales
Because I’m never small enough
I hate food
Because with every bite
I become more and more of a failure
I hate myself
Because I keep me from seeing
My own beauty
But still you look at me
And say please eat
