My Best Friend

I thought she’d left a while ago

I was happy all this time

But just when I thought I was enough

Ana came back to town

She saw the way I’ve grown and gained

She saw the number below my feet

She scoffed and laughed 

And said to me

Oh wow you’re doing great

Her hatred filled my ears and mind

And brought back all the tears

Ana pushed away my food

Said this will be our year

She said it’s been long overdue

That she’d been here again

She’ll push me to the ground this time

I’ll try not to let her win

She showed me all those years ago

When I was just a kid

When her and I were the best of friends

I’d never seen so clear

And now just like a coach she’s here

Yelling in my ear

Telling me you’re not good enough

Until you hear them cheer

I’ll change my hair and change my face

I’ll run all day

I’ll keep the pace

I’ll look at food and turn away

And hope that soon

Ana will leave again someday

Someday when I am smaller

My bones will start to show

I’ll cover up my body

So nobody will know

I’ll lie to friends and family

Why should I let them in

Ana says they’d never care

And when they start to see

My body will be gone away

My best friend Ana and me.
