Anna
Half of everything
That's all she eats
If she eats more
She feels only guilt
She sticks to fruits
Veggies and grains
No meats for her
It only means fat
After she eats
She needs to be active
She tries to burn it all
So she has nothing left
Her tummy gets upset
It hates her for the torture
But it does not understand
She cannot get fat
No chocolate for her
No sweets, not anything
She's scared to get fat
She's scared of the rejection
She exercises daily
Always overdoing it
But if she doesn't
She becomes a wreck
She wishes she could eat
Be a normal teen
Not having to worry
As long as she has food
But she's torn up everything
From her insides to her out
She cannot heal
What she's done to herself
